10 When he died, he died once for people who had sinned, and he will never die again; but in regard to his living again now, he lives in order to serve/honor God.
11 Similarly, you must consider that it is as though you have become unable to do what your sinful desires MET want, as a corpse is not able to do what anyone wants it to do. You must also consider that because of your relationship to Christ Jesus you are living in a new way in order to serve/honor God.
12 So, do not let the desire to sin PRS control your bodies MET with the result that you do the sinful things that you desire to do. Remember that your bodies will surely die, but your spirits will never die.
13 Do not let any of your body parts do wicked things, as you did MET when you were spiritually dead. Instead, present yourselves to God as people who are alive spiritually. Present all your body parts to God, to allow him to use them to do righteous things.
14 Do not let a desire to sin control you PRS. The laws that God gave Moses did not enable you to stop sinning. But now God controls you and kindly helps you not to sin.
15 I suppose that certain people might think about what I have just said and they might say RHQ, “ You say that the laws God gave Moses did not enable us to stop sinning, but that God is now treating us kindly in ways we do not deserve. ◄ That seems to mean that God permits us to continue sinning./ Does that mean that God permits us to continue sinning?► RHQ” My reply to that is no, we should certainly not continue sinning
