14. For sin shall not be your master. The future here is not to be understood to express either a command or an exhortation, not only because the third and not the second person is used, but also because of the link as indicated by for. We should yield ourselves to God, for sin shall not be master, etc. It is not a hopeless struggle in which the believer is engaged, but one in which victory is certain. The apostle expresses here a joyful confidence that the power of sin has been effectually broken
