Romans 6:12-17

Darby Translation

¹² Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body to obey its lusts.

¹³ Neither yield your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God as alive from among [the] dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God.

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

¹⁵ What then? should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Far be the thought.

¹⁶ Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves bondmen for obedience, ye are bondmen to him whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

¹⁷ But thanks [be] to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but have obeyed from the heart the form of teaching into which ye were instructed.
