Romans 6:9-13

Dead to Sin, Alive to God

⁹ We know that _c Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; _d death no longer has dominion over him. ¹⁰ For the death he died he died to sin, _e once for all, but the life he lives he lives 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.
