Romans 6:12–23

¹²Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, so as to obey the lusts thereof.

¹³Neither yield ye your members as instruments of iniquity unto sin: but present yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead; and your members as instruments of justice unto God.

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

¹⁵What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid!

¹⁶Know you not that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey, whether it be of sin unto death or of obedience unto justice.

¹⁷But thanks be to God, that you were the servants of sin but have obeyed from the heart unto that form of doctrine into which you have been delivered.

¹⁸Being then freed from sin, we have been made servants of justice.

¹⁹I speak an human thing, because of the infirmity of your flesh. For as you have yielded your members to serve uncleanness and iniquity, unto iniquity: so now yield your members to serve justice, unto sanctification.

²⁰For when you were the servants of sin, you were free men to justice.

²¹What fruit therefore had you then in those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of them is death.

²²But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end life everlasting.

²³For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God, life everlasting in Christ Jesus our Lord.
