Romans 6:3-13 ESV
(3) Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
(4) We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
(5) For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.
(6) We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.
(7) For one who has died has been set free from sin.
(8) Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
(9) We know that Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.
(10) For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God.
(11) So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
(12) Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal bodies, to make you obey their passions.
(13) Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness.
Romans 6:3-13 BBE
(3) Or are you without the knowledge that all we who had baptism into Christ Jesus, had baptism into his death?
(4) We have been placed with him among the dead through baptism into death: so that as Christ came again from the dead by the glory of the Father, we, in the same way, might be living in new life.
(5) For, if we have been made like him in his death, we will, in the same way, be like him in his coming to life again;
(6) Being conscious that our old man was put to death on the cross with him, so that the body of sin might be put away, and we might no longer be servants to sin.
(7) Because he who is dead is free from sin.
(8) But if we are dead with Christ, we have faith that we will be living with him;
(9) Having knowledge that because Christ has come back from the dead, he will never again go down to the dead; death has no more power over him.
(10) For his death was a death to sin, but his life now is a life which he is living to God.
(11) Even so see yourselves as dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.
(12) For this cause do not let sin be ruling in your body which is under the power of death, so that you give way to its desires;
(13) And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.
Romans 6:3-13 GNB
(3) For surely you know that when we were baptized into union with Christ Jesus, we were baptized into union with his death.
(4) By our baptism, then, we were buried with him and shared his death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from death by the glorious power of the Father, so also we might live a new life.
(5) For since we have become one with him in dying as he did, in the same way we shall be one with him by being raised to life as he was.
(6) And we know that our old being has been put to death with Christ on his cross, in order that the power of the sinful self might be destroyed, so that we should no longer be the slaves of sin.
(7) For when we die, we are set free from the power of sin.
(8) Since we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
(9) For we know that Christ has been raised from death and will never die again---death will no longer rule over him.
(10) And so, because he died, sin has no power over him; and now he lives his life in fellowship with God.
(11) In the same way you are to think of yourselves as dead, so far as sin is concerned, but living in fellowship with God through Christ Jesus.
(12) Sin must no longer rule in your mortal bodies, so that you obey the desires of your natural self.
(13) Nor must you surrender any part of yourselves to sin to be used for wicked purposes. Instead, give yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life, and surrender your whole being to him to be used for righteous purposes.
Romans 6:3-13 NWT
3 Or do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we were buried with him through our baptism into his death, in order that, just as Christ was raised up from the dead through the glory of the Father, we also should likewise walk in a newness of life. 5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall certainly also be [united with him in the likeness] of his resurrection; 6 because we know that our old personality was impaled with [him], that our sinful body might be made inactive, that we should no longer go on being slaves to sin. 7 For he who has died has been acquitted from [his] sin. 8 Moreover, if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. 9 For we know that Christ, now that he has been raised up from the dead, dies no more; death is master over him no more. 10 For [the death] that he died, he died with reference to sin once for all time; but [the life] that he lives, he lives with reference to God. 11 Likewise also you: reckon yourselves to be dead indeed with reference to sin but living with reference to God by Christ Jesus. 12 Therefore do not let sin continue to rule as king in your mortal bodies that you should obey their desires. 13 Neither go on presenting your members to sin as weapons of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, also your members to God as weapons of righteousness.

Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
