| 1 | What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? | Que dirons-nous donc? Demeurerons-nous dans le péché, afin que la grâce abonde? | What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? |
| 2 | God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? | Nullement! Nous qui sommes morts au péché, comment vivrions-nous encore en lui? | God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein? |
| 3 | Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? | Ne savez-vous pas que nous tous qui avons été baptisés en Jésus-Christ, nous avons été baptisés en sa mort? | Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? |
| 4 | Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. | Nous avons donc été ensevelis avec lui par le baptême en sa mort, afin que, comme Christ est ressuscité des morts par la gloire du Père, de même nous marchions, nous aussi, dans une vie nouvelle. | We were buried therefore with him through baptism unto death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. |
| 5 | For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: | Car si, lui devenant semblables dans sa mort, nous avons été faits une même plante avec lui, nous le serons aussi à sa résurrection; | For if we have become united with [him] in the likeness of his death, we shall be also [in the likeness] of his resurrection; |
| 6 | Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. | Sachant que notre vieil homme a été crucifié avec lui, afin que le corps du péché soit détruit, et que nous ne soyons plus asservis au péché. | knowing this, that our old man was crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin; |
| 7 | For he that is dead is freed from sin. | Car celui qui est mort, est affranchi du péché. | for he that hath died is justified from sin. |
| 8 | Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: | Or, si nous sommes morts avec Christ, nous croyons que nous vivrons aussi avec lui, | But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him; |
| 9 | Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. | Sachant que Christ ressuscité des morts ne meurt plus, et que la mort n'a plus de pouvoir sur lui. | knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death no more hath dominion over him. |
| 10 | For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. | Car en mourant, il est mort une seule fois pour le péché; mais en vivant, il vit pour Dieu. | For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God. |
| 11 | Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. | Vous aussi, considérez-vous comme morts au péché, mais vivants à Dieu en Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur. | Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus. |
| 12 | Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. | Que le péché ne règne donc point dans votre corps mortel, pour lui obéir en ses convoitises; | Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof: |
| 13 | Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. | Ne livrez point vos membres au péché, pour être des instruments d'iniquité; mais donnez-vous à Dieu, comme de morts étant devenus vivants, et consacrez vos membres à Dieu, pour être des instruments de justice. | neither present your members unto sin [as] instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto God. |
| 14 | For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. | Car le péché ne dominera pas sur vous, parce que vous n'êtes point sous la loi, mais sous la grâce. | For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace. |
| 15 | What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. | Quoi donc, pécherons-nous, parce que nous ne sommes point sous la loi, mais sous la grâce? Nullement! | What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid. |
| 16 | Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? | Ne savez-vous pas que si vous vous rendez esclaves de quelqu'un pour lui obéir, vous êtes esclaves de celui à qui vous obéissez; soit du péché pour la mort, soit de l'obéissance pour la justice? | Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves [as] servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? |
| 17 | But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. | Mais grâces soient rendues à Dieu, de ce que, après avoir été esclaves du péché, vous avez obéi de coeur à la règle de doctrine qui vous a été donnée. | But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered; |
| 18 | Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. | Or, ayant été affranchis du péché, vous êtes devenus esclaves de la justice. | and being made free from sin, ye became servants of righteousness. |
| 19 | I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. | Je parle suivant l'usage des hommes, à cause de l'infirmité de votre chair. En effet, de même que vous avez livré vos membres pour servir à l'impureté et à l'injustice pour l'iniquité, ainsi livrez-les maintenant comme esclaves à la justice pour la sainteté. | I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye presented your members [as] servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now present your members [as] servants to righteousness unto sanctification. |
| 20 | For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. | Car, lorsque vous étiez esclaves du péché, vous étiez libres à l'égard de la justice. | For when ye were servants of sin, ye were free in regard of righteousness. |
| 21 | What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. | Quel fruit retiriez-vous donc alors des choses dont vous avez honte présentement? Car leur fin est la mort. | What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. |
| 22 | But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. | Mais maintenant affranchis du péché et esclaves de Dieu, vous en retirez pour fruit la sainteté, et pour fin la vie éternelle; | But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life. |
| 23 | For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. | Car le salaire du péché, c'est la mort; mais le don de Dieu, c'est la vie éternelle en Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur. | For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. |
