¹¹ So you also must consider yourselves ^(A)dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

¹² Let not ^(B)sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. ^13 (C)Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but ^(D)present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. ¹⁴ For ^(E)sin ^(F)will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

¹⁶ Do you not know that if you present yourselves ^(A)to anyone as obedient slaves,^[a] you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? ¹⁷ But ^(B)thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the ^(C)standard of teaching to which you were committed, ¹⁸ and, ^(D)having been set free from sin, ^(E)have become slaves of righteousness. ^19 (F)I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For ^(G)just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members ^(H)as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.
