9. knowing that the Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more; death has no more dominion over him.
10. For he that is dead died unto sin once, and he that lives, lives unto God.
11. Likewise also reckon yourselves to be truly dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ, Jesus, our Lord.
12. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13. Neither present your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin, but present yourselves unto God as those that are alive from the dead and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14. So that sin shall have no dominion over you; for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15. What then? shall we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace? No, in no wise.
16. Or know ye not that to whom ye present yourselves slaves to obey, his slaves ye are to whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death or of the obedience unto righteousness?
17. Thank God that, although ye were the slaves of sin, ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine unto which ye are delivered;
18. and freed from sin, ye are become the slaves of righteousness.
19. I speak a human thing because of the weakness of our flesh: that as ye presented your members to serve uncleanness and iniquity unto iniquity, likewise now present your members to serve righteousness unto holiness.
