11. So you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to Elohim in Messiah יהושע our Master.
12. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires,
13. neither present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to Elohim as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to Elohim.
14. For sin shall not rule over you, for you are not under the law but under favour.
15. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under Torah but under favour? Let it not be!
16. Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves servants for obedience, you are servants of the one whom you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
17. But thanks to Elohim that you were servants of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of teaching to which you were entrusted.
18. And having been set free from sin, you became servants of righteousness.
19. I speak as a man, because of the weakness of your flesh. For even as you did present your members as servants of uncleanness, and of lawlessness resulting in lawlessness, so now present your members as servants of righteousness resulting in set-apartness.
20. For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
21. What fruit, therefore, were you having then, over which you are now ashamed? For the end thereof is death.
22. But now, having been set free from sin, and having become servants of Elohim, you have your fruit resulting in set-apartness, and the end, everlasting life.
23. For the wages of sin is death, but the favourable gift of Elohim is everlasting life in Messiah יהושע our Master.
