Readings for Lent and Easter
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.
14 [f]For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the Law, but under grace.
15 [g]What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the Law, but under grace? God forbid.
16 (A)Know ye not, that to whomsoever ye give yourselves as servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey, whether it be of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 [h]But God be thanked, that ye have been the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart unto the [i]form of the doctrine, whereunto ye were delivered.
18 Being then made free from sin, ye are made the servants of righteousness.
