11 Likewise think ye also, that ye are dead to sin, but are alive to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.

12 [a]Let not sin [b]reign therefore in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof:

13 Neither [c]give ye your [d]members, as [e]weapons of unrighteousness unto sin: but give yourselves unto God, as they that are alive from the dead, and give your members as weapons of righteousness unto God.
