9. Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dies no more; death has no more dominion over him.
10. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he lives, he lives unto God.
11. Likewise reckon you also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
13. Neither yield your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace.
15. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
16. Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17. But God be thanked, that you were the servants of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18. Being then made free from sin, you became the servants of righteousness.
19. I speak after the manner of men because of the weakness of your flesh: for as you have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
