Romans 6:12-18

¹²Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

¹³Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

¹⁴For sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.

¹⁵What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!

¹⁶Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

¹⁷But thanks be to God that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were delivered.

¹⁸Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.
