Romans 6:12-14
New Living Translation
12 Do not let sin control the way you live;[a] do not give in to sinful desires. 13 Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God. 14 Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.

Romans 6:12-14
International Standard Version
12 Therefore, do not let sin rule your mortal bodies so that you obey their desires. 13 Stop offering[a] the parts of your body[b] to sin as instruments of unrighteousness. Instead, offer yourselves to God as people who have been brought from death to life and the parts of your body[c] as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin will not have mastery over you, because you are not under Law but under grace.
