Romans 6:12–23

¹²Let not ^bsin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. ¹³Neither ^cyield ye your members as ^†instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but ^dyield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as ^†instruments of righteousness unto God. ¹⁴For ^bsin shall not have dominion over you: for ^eye are not under the law, but under grace.

¹⁵What then? ^fshall we sin, ^zbecause we are not under the law, but under grace? ^gGod forbid. ¹⁶Know ye not, that ^hto whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? ¹⁷But God be thanked, ⁱthat ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart ^kthat form of doctrine ^†which was delivered you. ¹⁸Being then ^lmade free from sin, ^mye became the servants of righteousness. ¹⁹ⁿI speak after the manner of men ^obecause of ^othe infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have ^cyielded your members servants to uncleanness and to ^piniquity unto iniquity; even so now ^dyield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. ²⁰For when ye were ^hthe servants of sin, ye were free ^†from righteousness. ^21qWhat fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for ^rthe end of those things is death. ²²But now being ^lmade free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. ²³For the ^swages of sin is ^tdeath; but the gift of God is ^ueternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
