Romans 6

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

12 Ref Let not then the sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires;

13 Ref neither present ye your members instruments of unrighteousness to the sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God;

14 Ref for sin over you shall not have lordship, 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? let it not be!

16 Ref have ye not known that to whom ye present yourselves servants for obedience, servants ye are to him to whom ye obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

17 Ref and thanks to God, that ye were servants of the sin, and -- were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which ye were delivered up;

18 Ref and having been freed from the sin, ye became servants to the righteousness.

19 Ref In the manner of men I speak, because of the weakness of your flesh, for even as ye did present your members servants to the uncleanness and to the lawlessness -- to the lawlessness, so now present your members servants to the righteousness -- to sanctification,

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.
