12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in 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. |
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. |
15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the 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? |
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. |
18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. |
