10For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.
12Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof:
13neither present your members unto sin [as] instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto God.
14For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace.
15What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid.
16Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves [as] servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
