Romans 6:10-22
-
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.
-
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.
-
20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
-
21 What fruit had ye then in those 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.
