Romans 6
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
12 Ref For this cause do not let sin be ruling in your body which is under the power of death, so that you give way to its desires;
13 Ref And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.
14 Ref For sin may not have rule over you: because you are not under law, but under grace.
15 Ref What then? are we to go on in sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be so.
16 Ref Are you not conscious that you are the servants of him to whom you give yourselves to do his desire? if to sin, the end being death, or if to do the desire of God, the end being righteousness.
17 Ref But praise be to God that though you were the servants of sin, you have now given yourselves freely to that form of teaching under which you were placed;
18 Ref And being made free from sin you have been made the servants of righteousness.
19 Ref I am using words in the way of men, because your flesh is feeble: as you gave your bodies as servants to what is unclean, and to evil to do evil, so now give them as servants to righteousness to do what is holy.
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
12 Ref Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof:
13 Ref neither present your members unto sin `as' instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members `as' instruments of righteousness unto God.
14 Ref For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace.
15 Ref What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid.
16 Ref Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves `as' servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 Ref But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered;
18 Ref and being made free from sin, ye became servants of righteousness.
19 Ref I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye presented your members `as' servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now present your members `as' servants to righteousness unto sanctification.
King James Version (KJV)
