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?
2May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
2Absit. Qui enim mortui sumus peccato, quomodo adhuc vivemus in illo?
3Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
3an ignoratis quia quicumque baptizati sumus in Christo Jesu, in morte ipsius baptizati sumus?
4We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might 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 become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;
5Si enim complantati facti sumus similitudini mortis ejus: simul et resurrectionis erimus.
6knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.
6Hoc scientes, quia vetus homo noster simul crucifixus est, ut destruatur corpus peccati, et ultra non serviamus peccato.
7For he who has died has been freed from sin.
7Qui enim mortuus est, justificatus est a peccato.
8But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,
8Si autem mortui sumus cum Christo, credimus quia simul etiam vivemus cum Christo,
9knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!
9scientes quod Christus resurgens ex mortuis jam non moritur: mors illi ultra non dominabitur.
10For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
10Quod enim mortuus est peccato, mortuus est semel: quod autem vivit, vivit Deo.
11Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
11Ita et vos existimate vos mortuos quidem esse peccato, viventes autem Deo, in Christo Jesu Domino nostro.
12Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
12Non ergo regnet peccatum in vestro mortali corpore ut obediatis concupiscentiis ejus.
13Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to 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 will not have dominion over you, for you are not under 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 law but under grace? May it never be!
15Quid ergo? peccabimus, quoniam non sumus sub lege, sed sub gratia? Absit.
16Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
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, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were delivered.
17Gratias autem Deo quod fuistis servi peccati, obedistis autem ex corde in eam formam doctrinæ, in quam traditi estis.
18Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.
18Liberati autem a peccato, servi facti estis justitiæ.
19I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for 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 servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
20Cum enim servi essetis peccati, liberi fuistis justitiæ.
21What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things 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 having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification and the result of eternal life.
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 free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
23Stipendia enim peccati, mors. Gratia autem Dei, vita æterna, in Christo Jesu Domino nostro.
