12 Not therefore let reign the sin, in the mortal of you body, in order that to obey;
13 nor present you the members of you weapons of unrighteousness to the sin; but present you yourselves to the God, as out of dead ones living, and the members of you weapons of righteousness to the God.
14 Sin for to you not shall lord over; not for you are under law, but under favor.
15 What then? shall we sin, because not we are under law, but under favor? Not let it be.
16 Not you know, that to whom you present yourselves slaves for obedience, slaves you are to whom you are obedient, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
17 Thanks but to the God, that you were slaves of the sin, you obeyed yet from heart into which you were delivered a form of teaching.
18 Having been freed and from the sin, you were enslaved to the righteousness.
