1 What then will we say? Should we continue in sin so that grace may abound?
1 ¿PUES qué diremos? Perseveraremos en pecado para que la gracia crezca?
2 May it never be. We who died to sin, how can we still live in it?
2 En ninguna manera. Porque los que somos muertos al pecado, ¿cómo viviremos aún en él?
3 Do you not know that as many as 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, then, with him through baptism into death. This happened in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so also we 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 will also be united with 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 this, that our old man was crucified with him, in order that the body of sin might be destroyed. This happened so that we should no longer be enslaved 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 He who has died is declared righteous with respect to sin.
7 Porque el que es muerto, justificado es del pecado.
8 But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live together with him.
8 Y si morimos con Cristo, creemos que también viviremos con él;
9 We know that since Christ has been raised from the dead he cannot die again; death no longer has authority 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 in regard to the death that he died to sin, he died once for all. However, the life that he lives, he lives for God.
10 Porque el haber muerto, al pecado murió una vez; mas el vivir, á Dios vive.
11 In the same way, you also must consider yourselves to be 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 rule in your mortal body in order that you may obey its lusts.
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, to be tools used for unrighteousness. But present yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life, and present the parts of your body to God as tools to be used for 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 Do not allow sin to rule over you. For 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? May it never be.
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 the one to whom you present yourselves as slaves is the one to which you are obedient, the one you must obey? This is true whether you are slaves to sin which leads to death, or slaves to obedience which leads 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! For you were slaves of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart the pattern of teaching that you were given.
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 made free from sin, and you have been made slaves of righteousness.
18 Y libertados del pecado, sois hechos siervos de la justicia.
19 I speak like a man because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented the parts of your body as slaves to uncleanness and to evil, in the same way now, present the parts of your body as slaves to righteousness for 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 you were slaves of sin, you were free from righteousness.
20 Porque cuando fuisteis siervos del pecado, erais libres acerca de la justicia.
21 At that time, what fruit then did you have of the things of which you are now ashamed? For 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 made free from sin and are enslaved to God, you have your fruit for sanctification. The result 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 are 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 …
