1 τι ουν ερουμεν; επιμενουμεν τη αμαρτια ινα η χαρις πλεοναση; 2 μη γενοιτο. οιτινες απεθανομεν τη αμαρτια, πως ετι ζησομεν εν αυτη; 3 η αγνοειτε οτι οσοι εβαπτισθημεν εις χριστον ιησουν, εις τον θανατον αυτου εβαπτισθημεν; 4 συνεταφημεν ουν αυτω δια του βαπτισματος εις τον θανατον, ινα ωσπερ ηγερθη χριστος εκ νεκρων δια της δοξης του πατρος, ουτως και ημεις εν καινοτητι ζωης περιπατησωμεν. 5 ει γαρ συμφυτοι γεγοναμεν τω ομοιωματι του θανατου αυτου, αλλα και της αναστασεως εσομεθα, 6 τουτο γινωσκοντες, οτι ο παλαιος ημων ανθρωπος συνεσταυρωθη ινα καταργηθη το σωμα της αμαρτιας, του μηκετι δουλευειν ημας τη αμαρτια· 7 ο γαρ αποθανων δεδικαιωται απο της αμαρτιας. 8 ει δε απεθανομεν συν χριστω, πιστευομεν οτι και συζησομεν αυτω, 9 ειδοτες οτι χριστος εγερθεις εκ νεκρων ουκετι αποθνησκει, θανατος αυτου ουκετι κυριευει. 10 ο γαρ απεθανεν, τη αμαρτια απεθανεν εφαπαξ, ο δε ζη, ζη τω θεω. 11 ουτως και υμεις λογιζεσθε εαυτους νεκρους μεν ειναι τη αμαρτια, ζωντας δε τω θεω εν χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων. 12 μη ουν βασιλευετω η αμαρτια εν τω θνητω υμων σωματι εις το υπακουειν αυτη εν ταις επιθυμιαις αυτου, 13 μηδε παριστανετε τα μελη υμων οπλα αδικιας τη αμαρτια, αλλα παραστησατε εαυτους τω θεω ως εκ νεκρων ζωντας και τα μελη υμων οπλα δικαιοσυνης τω θεω. 14 αμαρτια γαρ υμων ου κυριευσει· ου γαρ εστε υπο νομον, αλλ υπο χαριν. 15 τι ουν; αμαρτησομεν οτι ουκ εσμεν υπο νομον, αλλ υπο χαριν; μη γενοιτο. 16 ουκ οιδατε οτι ω παριστανετε εαυτους δουλους εις υπακοην, δουλοι εστε ω υπακουετε, ητοι αμαρτιας εις θανατον η υπακοης εις δικαιοσυνην; 17 χαρις δε τω θεω οτι ητε δουλοι της αμαρτιας, υπηκουσατε δε εκ καρδιας εις ον παρεδοθητε τυπον διδαχης, 18 ελευθερωθεντες δε απο της αμαρτιας εδουλωθητε τη δικαιοσυνη. 19 ανθρωπινον λεγω δια την ασθενειαν της σαρκος υμων. ωσπερ γαρ παρεστησατε τα μελη υμων δουλα τη ακαθαρσια και τη ανομια εις την ανομιαν, ουτως νυν παραστησατε τα μελη υμων δουλα τη δικαιοσυνη εις αγιασμον. 20 οτε γαρ δουλοι ητε της αμαρτιας, ελευθεροι ητε τη δικαιοσυνη. 21 τινα ουν καρπον ειχετε τοτε εφ οις νυν επαισχυνεσθε; το γαρ τελος εκεινων θανατος. 22 νυνι δε ελευθερωθεντες απο της αμαρτιας δουλωθεντες δε τω θεω εχετε τον καρπον υμων εις αγιασμον, το δε τελος ζωην αιωνιον. 23 τα γαρ οψωνια της αμαρτιας θανατος, το δε χαρισμα του θεου ζωη αιωνιος εν χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων.

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.

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 …
