CAP. VI.
Therfore what schulen we seye?
1 Schulen
we dwelle in synne, that grace be
plenteuous?
2 Ferr be it. Sothli we
that ben deed to synne, `how schulen
we `&yogh;it lyue ther ynne?
3 Wher,
bretheren, `&yogh;e vnknowen, for whiche
euere we ben baptysid, `or cristened,
in Crist Jhesu, `in his deeth we ben baptysid?
Sothli we ben to gidere biried
4
with him bi cristendom in to deeth; that
-- --
as Crist roos fro deede spiritis bi glorie
of the fadir, so and we walke in the
newenesse of lyf.
5 Forsoth if we `plauntid
to gidere ben maad to the liknesse of his
deeth, also and we schulen ben of his
risyng a&yogh;en;
6 witinge that oure oolde
man is to gidere crucifyed, that the body
of synne be distroyed, that we serue no
more to synne.
7 Sothli he that is deed
`to synne, is iustified fro synne.
8 Forsoth
if we ben deed with Crist, we bileuen
that also we schulen lyue to gidere with
him;
9 witinge for Crist, rysinge a&yogh;en fro
deede spiritis, now deieth not, deeth schal
no more lordschipe to him.
10 Forsoth `he
that is deed to synne, he is deed oonys;
sothli `he that lyueth, he lyueth to God.
So and &yogh;e deme &yogh;ou for to be deed
11
sothli to synne, forsoth lyuynge to God
in Jhesu Crist oure Lord.
12 Therfore regne
not synne in &yogh;oure deedly body, that &yogh;e
obeische to his coueitingis.
13 But neither
&yogh;yue &yogh;e &yogh;oure membris aarmours of wickidnesse
to synne, but &yogh;yue &yogh;e &yogh;ou self to
God, as of deed men lyuynge, and &yogh;oure
membris armers of ri&yogh;twisnesse to God.
Forsothe synne schal not lordschipe to
14
&yogh;ou; sothli &yogh;e ben not vndir lawe, but
vndir grace.
15 What therfore? Schulen
we synnen, for we ben not vndir the
lawe, but vndir grace?
16 Ferr be it. Witen
&yogh;e not, for to whom &yogh;e &yogh;yuen &yogh;ou seruauntis
for to obeische, &yogh;e ben seruauntis
of that thing, to which &yogh;e han obeischid,
either of synne to deeth, othir of obedience
to ri&yogh;twysnesse?
17 Sothli I do thankyngis
to God, that &yogh;e weren seruauntis of
synne; forsoth &yogh;e han obeyschid of herte
in to that fourme of techyng, in which &yogh;e
ben bitakun.
18 Forsoth &yogh;e delyuered fro
-- --
synne, ben maad seruauntis of ri&yogh;twysnesse.
I seie mannis thing,
19 for the infirmite,
`or vnstabilnesse, of &yogh;oure fleisch.
Sothli as &yogh;e han &yogh;ouun &yogh;oure membris
for to serue to vnclennes, and wickidnesse
to wickidnesse, so now &yogh;yue &yogh;e &yogh;oure
membris for to serue to ri&yogh;twysnesse
in to hoolynesse.
20 Forsothe whanne &yogh;e
weren seruauntis of synne, &yogh;e weren fre of
ri&yogh;twysnesse.
21 Therfore what fruyt hadden
&yogh;e thanne in tho thingis, in whiche &yogh;e
schamen now? `Now therfore the ende
of hem is deeth.
22 Forsoth now &yogh;e delyuered
fro synne, `maad sotheli seruauntis
to God, han &yogh;oure fruyt in to hoolynesse,
the ende forsoth euerlastyng lyf. Treuli
the hyris of synne, deeth; the grace of
God, euerlasting lyf in `Crist Jhesu oure
Lord.
