1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
1 ¿PUES qué diremos? Perseveraremos en pecado para que la gracia crezca?
2 God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?
2 En ninguna manera. Porque los que somos muertos al pecado, ¿cómo viviremos aún en él?
3 Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
3 ¿O no sabéis que todos los que somos bautizados en Cristo Jesús, somos bautizados en su muerte?
4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
4 Porque somos sepultados juntamente con él á muerte por el bautismo; para que como Cristo resucitó de los muertos por la gloria del Padre, así también nosotros andemos en novedad de vida.
5 For if we have become united with [him] in the likeness of his death, we shall be also [in the likeness] of his resurrection;
5 Porque si fuimos plantados juntamente en [él] á la semejanza de su muerte, así también [lo seremos á la] de su resurrección:
6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;
6 Sabiendo esto, que nuestro viejo hombre juntamente fué crucificado con [él], para que el cuerpo del pecado sea deshecho, á fin de que no sirvamos más al pecado.
7 for he that hath died is justified from sin.
7 Porque el que es muerto, justificado es del pecado.
8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;
8 Y si morimos con Cristo, creemos que también viviremos con él;
9 knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death no more hath dominion over him.
9 Sabiendo que Cristo, habiendo resucitado de entre los muertos, ya no muere: la muerte no se enseñoreará más de él.
10 For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
10 Porque el haber muerto, al pecado murió una vez; mas el vivir, á Dios vive.
11 Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.
11 Así también vosotros, pensad que de cierto estáis muertos al pecado, mas vivos á Dios en Cristo Jesús Señor nuestro.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof:
12 No reine, pues, el pecado en vuestro cuerpo mortal, para que le obedezcáis en sus concupiscencias;
13 neither present your members unto sin [as] instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto God.
13 Ni tampoco presentéis vuestros miembros al pecado por instrumentos de iniquidad; antes presentaos á Dios como vivos de los muertos, y vuestros miembros á Dios por instrumentos de justicia.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace.
14 Porque el pecado no se enseñoreará de vosotros; pues no estáis bajo la ley, sino bajo la gracia.
15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid.
15 ¿Pues qué? ¿Pecaremos, porque no estamos bajo de la ley, sino bajo de la gracia? En ninguna manera.
16 Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves [as] servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
16 ¿No sabéis que á quien os prestáis vosotros mismos por siervos para obedecer[le], sois siervos de aquel á quien obedecéis, ó del pecado para muerte, ó de la obediencia para justicia?
17 But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered;
17 Empero gracias á Dios, que aunque fuisteis siervos del pecado, habéis obedecido de corazón á aquella forma de doctrina á la cual sois entregados;
18 and being made free from sin, ye became servants of righteousness.
18 Y libertados del pecado, sois hechos siervos de la justicia.
19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye presented your members [as] servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now present your members [as] servants to righteousness unto sanctification.
19 Humana cosa digo, por la flaqueza de vuestra carne: que como para iniquidad presentasteis vuestros miembros á servir á la inmundicia y á la iniquidad, así ahora para santidad presentéis vuestros miembros á servir á la justicia.
20 For when ye were servants of sin, ye were free in regard of righteousness.
20 Porque cuando fuisteis siervos del pecado, erais libres acerca de la justicia.
21 What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
21 ¿Qué fruto, pues, teníais de aquellas cosas de las cuales ahora os avergonzáis? porque el fin de ellas es muerte.
22 But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life.
22 Mas ahora, librados del pecado, y hechos siervos á Dios, tenéis por vuestro fruto la santificación, y por fin la vida eterna.
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
23 Porque la paga del pecado es muerte: mas la dádiva de Dios es vida eterna en Cristo Jesús Señor nuestro.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
What I had before occasion to remark, that I mention here too, that he continually digresseth into exhortation, without making any twofold division as he does in the other Epistles, and setting apart the former portion for doctrines, and the latter for the care of moral instruction.

… up into heaven, as he himself [Paul] says: "But at the same time, [it, is] Christ [that] died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God." And again, "Knowing that Christ, rising from the dead, dieth no more:" for, as himself foreseeing, through the Spirit, the subdivisions of evil teachers [with regard to …
… thy soul by pleasing God." Our body, too, as a sacrifice when we chasten it by temperance, if we do so as we ought, for God's sake, that we may not yield our members instruments of unrighteousness unto sin, but instruments of righteousness unto God. Exhorting to this sacrifice, the apostle says, "I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercy …

Hear, for instance, how of those passions Paul is ashamed, even after his deliverance from them, saying, "For what fruit had ye then in those things, whereof ye are now ashamed?" But virtue, even after his labor, he affirms to be light, calling the laboriousness of our affliction momentary and "light," and rejoicing in his sufferings, and glorying in his …
