μὴ γένοιτο· οἵτινες ἀπεθάνομεν τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ, πῶς ἔτι ζήσομεν ἐν αὐτῇ;

me genoito* oitines apethanomen te amartia, pos eti zesomen en aute;

absit qui enim mortui sumus peccato quomodo adhuc vivemus in illo

God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer in it?

God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

God forbid! How shall we, who are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?

God forbid! For those of us who have died to sin, how shall we live in it again?

Far be the thought. We who have died to sin, how shall we still live in it?

God forbid. For we that are dead to sin, how shall we live any longer therein?

God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?

By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

That's unthinkable! As far as sin is concerned, we have died. So how can we still live under sin's influence?

Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

Of course not! How can we who died as far as sin is concerned go on living in it?

Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?

By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it?

By no means: how shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

No, indeed; how shall we who have died to sin, live in it any longer?

May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?

No! Certainly we should not do that! Sin does not rule our lives any longer. That old life is dead! So it is not right that we should continue to do wrong things.

let it not be! we who died to the sin -- how shall we still live in it?

No, not at all! We are dead to sin. How then can we keep on living in sin?

How shall we, who are dead to sin, still live in it?

Absolutely not! How can we die to a life where sin ruled over us and then invite sin back into our lives?

Of course not! Should we keep on sinning when we don’t have to? For sin’s power over us was broken when we became Christians and were baptized to become a part of Jesus Christ; through his death the power of your sinful nature was shattered.

Of course not! We have died to sin. How can we live in it any longer?

May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?

No, in no wise. How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein?

Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?

No! We died to our old sinful lives, so how can we continue living with sin?

So what do we do? Keep on sinning so God can keep on forgiving? I should hope not! If we’ve left the country where sin is sovereign, how can we still live in our old house there? Or didn’t you realize we packed up and left there for good? That is what happened in baptism. When we went under the water, we left the old country of sin behind; when we came up out of the water, we entered into the new country of grace—a new life in a new land! That’s what baptism into the life of Jesus means. When we are lowered into the water, it is like the burial of Jesus; when we are raised up out of the water, it is like the resurrection of Jesus. Each of us is raised into a light-filled world by our Father so that we can see where we’re going in our new grace-sovereign country.

Absolutely not! We died to sin. How can we go on living in it any longer?

By no means! How can we who died to sin go on living in it?

By no means! How can we who died to sin go on living in it?

God forbid. How can we, who are dead as regards sin, live any longer in it?

Certainly not! We have died to sin—how then can we go on living in it?

God forbid [Far be it]. For how shall we that be dead to sin, live yet therein?

Certainly not! We died to sin; how can we still live in it?

No, we should not! If we are dead to sin, how can we go on sinning?

By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

Now what is our response to be? Shall we sin to our heart’s content and see how far we can exploit the grace of God? What a ghastly thought! We, who have died to sin—how could we live in sin a moment longer? Have you forgotten that all of us who were baptised into Jesus Christ were, by that very action, sharing in his death? We were dead and buried with him in baptism, so that just as he was raised from the dead by that splendid Revelation of the Father’s power so we too might rise to life on a new plane altogether. If we have, as it were, shared his death, let us rise and live our new lives with him! Let us never forget that our old selves died with him on the cross that the tyranny of sin over us might be broken—for a dead man can safely be said to be immune to the power of sin. And if we were dead men with him we can believe that we shall also be men newly alive with him. We can be sure that the risen Christ never dies again—death’s power to touch him is finished. He died, because of sin, once: he lives for God for ever. In the same way look upon yourselves as dead to the appeal and power of sin but alive and sensitive to the call of God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
