Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1What shall we say, then? shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
1Quid ergo dicemus? permanebimus in peccato ut gratia abundet?
2God forbid. For we that are dead to sin, how shall we live any longer therein?
2Absit. Qui enim mortui sumus peccato, quomodo adhuc vivemus in illo?
3Know you not that all we, who are baptized in Christ Jesus, are baptized in his death?
3an ignoratis quia quicumque baptizati sumus in Christo Jesu, in morte ipsius baptizati sumus?
4For we are buried together with him by baptism into death; that as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life.
4Consepulti enim sumus cum illo per baptismum in mortem: ut quomodo Christus surrexit a mortuis per gloriam Patris, ita et nos in novitate vitæ ambulemus.
5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.
5Si enim complantati facti sumus similitudini mortis ejus: simul et resurrectionis erimus.
6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, to the end that we may serve sin no longer.
6Hoc scientes, quia vetus homo noster simul crucifixus est, ut destruatur corpus peccati, et ultra non serviamus peccato.
7For he that is dead is justified from sin.
7Qui enim mortuus est, justificatus est a peccato.
8Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall live also together with Christ:
8Si autem mortui sumus cum Christo, credimus quia simul etiam vivemus cum Christo,
9Knowing that Christ rising again from the dead, dieth now no more, death shall no more have dominion over him.
9scientes quod Christus resurgens ex mortuis jam non moritur: mors illi ultra non dominabitur.
10For in that he died to sin, he died once; but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God:
10Quod enim mortuus est peccato, mortuus est semel: quod autem vivit, vivit Deo.
11So do you also reckon, that you are dead to sin, but alive unto God, in Christ Jesus our Lord.
11Ita et vos existimate vos mortuos quidem esse peccato, viventes autem Deo, in Christo Jesu Domino nostro.
12Let no sin therefore reign in your mortal body, so as to obey the lusts thereof.
12Non ergo regnet peccatum in vestro mortali corpore ut obediatis concupiscentiis ejus.
13Neither yield ye your members as instruments of iniquity unto sin; but present yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of justice unto God.
13Sed neque exhibeatis membra vestra arma iniquitatis peccato: sed exhibete vos Deo, tamquam ex mortuis viventes: et membra vestra arma justitiæ Deo.
14For sin shall not have dominion over you; for you are not under the law, but under grace.
14Peccatum enim vobis non dominabitur: non enim sub lege estis, sed sub gratia.
15What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
15Quid ergo? peccabimus, quoniam non sumus sub lege, sed sub gratia? Absit.
16Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey, whether it be of sin unto death, or of obedience unto justice.
16Nescitis quoniam cui exhibetis vos servos ad obediendum, servi estis ejus, cui obeditis, sive peccati ad mortem, sive obeditionis ad justitiam?
17But thanks be to God, that you were the servants of sin, but have obeyed from the heart, unto that form of doctrine, into which you have been delivered.
17Gratias autem Deo quod fuistis servi peccati, obedistis autem ex corde in eam formam doctrinæ, in quam traditi estis.
18Being then freed from sin, we have been made servants of justice.
18Liberati autem a peccato, servi facti estis justitiæ.
19I speak an human thing, because of the infirmity of your flesh. For as you have yielded your members to serve uncleanness and iniquity, unto iniquity; so now yield your members to serve justice, unto sanctification.
19Humanum dico, propter infirmitatem carnis vestræ: sicut enim exhibuistis membra vestra servire immunditiæ, et iniquitati ad iniquitatem, ita nunc exhibete membra vestra servire justitiæ in sanctificationem.
20For when you were the servants of sin, you were free men to justice.
20Cum enim servi essetis peccati, liberi fuistis justitiæ.
21What fruit therefore had you then in those things, of which you are now ashamed? For the end of them is death.
21Quem ergo fructum habuistis tunc in illis, in quibus nunc erubescitis? nam finis illorum mors est.
22But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end life everlasting.
22Nunc vero liberati a peccato, servi autem facti Deo, habetis fructum vestrum in sanctificationem, finem vero vitam æternam.
23For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God, life everlasting, in Christ Jesus our Lord.
23Stipendia enim peccati, mors. Gratia autem Dei, vita æterna, in Christo Jesu Domino nostro.
