9Having knowledge that because Christ has come back from the dead, he will never again go down to the dead; death has no more power over him.
10For his death was a death to sin, but his life now is a life which he is living to God.
11Even so see yourselves as dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.
12For this cause do not let sin be ruling in your body which is under the power of death, so that you give way to its desires;
13And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.
14For sin may not have rule over you: because you are not under law, but under grace.
15What then? are we to go on in sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be so.
