Romans 6:10-21

¹⁰For in that he died, he died to sin once for all; but in that he liveth, he liveth to God.

¹¹Thus do ye too consider yourselves as dead to sin, but alive to God, through Jesus Christ.

¹²Let not then sin reign in your mortal body, bringing you into subjection to its lusts,

¹³nor yield up your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but yield up yourselves to God, as being alive from the dead, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.

¹⁴For sin shall not hold dominion over you; for ye are not under the Law, but under grace.

¹⁵What then? Are we to sin, because we are not under the Law, but under grace? God forbid!

¹⁶Know ye not, that whomever ye choose to obey as a master, his bondmen ye are, whether of sin whose fruit is death, or of obedience whose fruit is righteousness?

¹⁷But thanks be to God that, though ye were the bondmen of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching which was delivered to you;

¹⁸and being made free from sin, ye became the bondmen of righteousness.

¹⁹I speak in a way common among men on account of the weakness of your flesh. For as ye once yielded your members as slaves to impurity and to iniquity, in order to commit iniquity, so now yield your members as bondmen to righteousness in order to become holy.

²⁰For when ye were the slaves of sin, ye were not the bondmen of righteousness.

²¹What fruit then had ye at that time from those things of which ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
