Romans 6:14- For Sin shall not be your master, for you are nor you are not under law but under grace. Why do you judge. Who is the judge, is it you, or brother's is it our God. Are you going to judge me because I typed in the wrong verse, it was a mistake. You have made mistakes to. In Matthew it says, why do not look at the saw dust in your brothers eye and pay no attention to your own eye. {well as Isaiah spoke through God. You are hypocrit's.

Yes...
Romans 8:21-
21 I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. 22 I love God’s law with all my heart. 23 But there is another power[e] within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. 24 Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? 25 Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God’s law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin.

How do I pay for my sin? Death (one possibly created here & now in a present sort of hell via guilt and even into the realm to come). Grammatically speaking, the word "but" negates everything in the sentence prior to the "but". So that leaves me with a gift. And not just any gift; a free gift, given in Grace. Oh, how I love even the idea of that.
Young's Literal Translation leaves out the "but": 23 - "for the wages of the sin [is] death, and the gift of God [is] life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord."
By originally presenting us with an "and" instead of a "but", Paul (or Young however you may see it) does not give us a "get out of Death free" card. Instead, the two parts of the verse work in conjunction with one another. We will all sin, we will all die, yet we have the option of receiving a gift beyond our comprehension; eternal life starting roday!
Thanks for tickling my brain today.

Romans 6:23...it is saying that if you keep sinning and you are not saved then you will die in your sins..In God we have eternal life with sin we would have death.
Romans 6:14- For Sin shall not be your master, for you are not under sin but under law.
Sin is not your master no more and with out sinning your under God's protection, under His Grace He is your master not sin.
that's the best I can explain it, the best to my understanding..

"For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under GRACE".
The translation of the text was in error,that you quoted.
