Romans 6:11-15

Dead to Sin, Alive to God

11 So you also must consider yourselves f dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

12 Let not g sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. 13 h Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but i present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. 14 For j sin k will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

Slaves to Righteousness

15 What then? l Are we to sin m because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!
