A Living Sacrifice

^19 (A)I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For ^(B)just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members ^(C)as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

^13 (A)Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but ^(B)present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness.
