Romans 6:12-14
Wycliffe Bible
12 Therefore reign not sin in your deadly body, that ye obey to his covetings.
13 Neither give ye your members arms of wickedness to sin, but give ye yourselves to God, as they that live of dead men, and your members arms of rightwiseness to God.
14 For sin shall not have lordship over you; for ye be not under the law, but under grace.

New Matthew Bible
12 Therefore let not sin reign in your mortal bodies, so that you bow to it in its affections and lusts. 13 Neither give your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin. But give yourselves unto God as people who are alive from death, and give your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14 Let not sin have power over you. For you are not under the law, but under grace.
