Romans 6:10-12

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁰ Yes, when Christ died, he died to defeat the power of sin one time—enough for all time. He now has a new life, and his new life is with God. ¹¹ In the same way, you should see yourselves as being dead to the power of sin and alive for God through Christ Jesus.

¹² But don’t let sin control your life here on earth. You must not be ruled by the things your sinful self makes you want to do.
