New Testament

Romans 6:11-16 New English Translation (NET)

11. So you too consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

12. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires,

13. and do not present your members to sin as instruments to be used for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead and your members to God as instruments to be used for righteousness.

14. For sin will have no mastery over you, because you are not under law but under grace.

15. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Absolutely not!

16. Do you not know that if you present yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or obedience resulting in righteousness?
