1 What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase?
1 ¿PUES qué diremos? Perseveraremos en pecado para que la gracia crezca?
2 Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?
2 En ninguna manera. Porque los que somos muertos al pecado, ¿cómo viviremos aún en él?
3 Or aren’t you aware that all of us 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 therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may 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 been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be united with Him in 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 We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves 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 anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
7 Porque el que es muerto, justificado es del pecado.
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him.
8 Y si morimos con Cristo, creemos que también viviremos con él;
9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has 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 The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.
10 Porque el haber muerto, al pecado murió una vez; mas el vivir, á Dios vive.
11 So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to 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 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires.
12 No reine, pues, el pecado en vuestro cuerpo mortal, para que le obedezcáis en sus concupiscencias;
13 Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness.
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 be your master, because you 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? Certainly not!
15 ¿Pues qué? ¿Pecaremos, porque no estamos bajo de la ley, sino bajo de la gracia? En ninguna manera.
16 Do you not know that when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to 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, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were committed.
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 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
18 Y libertados del pecado, sois hechos siervos de la justicia.
19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.
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 you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness.
20 Porque cuando fuisteis siervos del pecado, erais libres acerca de la justicia.
21 What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome 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 that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is 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 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 …
