Romans 6

King James Version (KJV)

12 Ref Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

13 Ref Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are 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 the law, but under grace.

15 Ref What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

16 Ref Know ye not, that to 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?

17 Ref But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

18 Ref Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

19 Ref I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
