¶ The .vj. Chapter.
¶ For so moch as we be delyuered thorow Chryst
from synne, we muste fassyon oure selues to lyue
as the seruauntes of God, and not after our awne
lustes. The vnlykely rewarde of ryghteousnesse
and synne.
A What shall we saye then? Shall
we contynue in synne, that there
maye be aboundance of grace?
God forbyd. How shall we that
are deed as touchyng synne, lyue
eny lenger therin? &cross2; Knowe ye not that
note all we whych are baptysed into Iesu Christe
are baptysed to dye wyth him? We are buryed
then with him by baptyme, for to dye:
that lyke wyse as Christ was raysed vp fr&obar;
deeth by the glorye of þe; father, euen so note we
also shulde walke in a newe lyfe. For yf we
be graft in deeth lyke vnto hym: euen so shall
we be partakers of the resurreccyon: knowyng
thys, that oure olde man is crucifyed
with hym also, that the body of sinne myght
vtterly be destroyed, þt; hence forth we shuld
not be seruauntes vnto synne. For he that
is deed, is iustifyed from synne.
B Wherefore note yf we be deed &wt; Christ, we
beleue, þt; we shall also lyue with hym: knowyng,
that Christ beyng raysed from deeth,
note dyeth nomore. Deeth hath nomore power
ouer hym. For as touchynge that he dyed, he
dyed concernynge synne once. And as touchynge
that he lyueth, he lyueth vnto God.
-- --
Lykewyse consydre ye also, that ye are deed
as touchyng synne, but are alyue vnto God
thorow Iesus Christ oure Lorde &cross3; Let not
synne raygne therfore in youre mortall bodye,
that ye shulde ther vnto obey by the lustes
of it.
C Nether geue ye youre membres as
instrumentes of vnryghtewesnes vnto synne:
but geue ouer your selues vnto God as
they that of deed, are alyue. And geue ouer
youre members as instrumentes of ryghtewesnes
vnto God. For synne shall not haue
power ouer you. Because &rhand; ye are not vnder
the lawe, but vnder grace.
What then? Shall we synne, because we
are not vnder þe; lawe: but vnder grace? God
forbyd. &cross2; Knowe ye not, how that note to
whom soeuer ye commit youre selues as serua&ubar;tes
to obey, hys serua&ubar;tes ye are to wh&obar;
ye obey: whether it be of synne vnto deeth, or
of obedi&ebar;ce vnto ryghtewesnes? God be th&abar;ked,
that though ye were the seruauntes of
synne,
D ye haue yet obeyed with herte vnto þe;
rule of the doctryne, that ye be brought vnto.
noteYe are then made fre fr&obar; synne, and are
become the seruauntes of ryghtewesnes. &cross3;
&cross2; I speake grosly, because of the infirmytie
of youre fleshe. As ye haue geuen youre m&ebar;bers
seruauntes to vnclennes and to iniquitye,
(from one iniquitye to another) euen so
now geue ouer youre members seruauntes
vnto ryghtewesnes, that ye maye be sanctifyed.
For wh&ebar; ye were the serua&ubar;tes of synne,
ye were voyde of ryghtewesnes. What
frute had ye then in those thynges, wherof
ye are now asshamed. For the ende of those
thynges, is deeth. But now are ye delyuered
fr&obar; synne, ∧ made the serua&ubar;tes of God, and
haue youre frute to be sanctifyed, and þe; ende
euerlastynge lyfe. For note þe; rewarde of synne
is deeth. but eternall lyfe is þe; gyfte of God,
thorow Iesus Christ oure Lorde. &cross3;
