Romans 6:10-18
-
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in 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.
-
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.
