^{12 Ref} Therefore don't let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

^{13 Ref} Neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

^{14 Ref} For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.

^{15 Ref} What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? May it never be!

^{16 Ref} Don't you know that to whom you present yourselves as servants to obedience, his servants you are whom you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

^{17 Ref} But thanks be to God, that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto you were delivered.

^{18 Ref} Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.

^{19 Ref} I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh, for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.

^{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.
