12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13 Neither present your members [as] instruments of unrighteousness unto sin, but present yourselves unto God as those that are alive from the dead and your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto God.
14 So that sin shall have no dominion over you; for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15 What then? shall we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace? No, in no wise.
16 Or know ye not that to whom ye present yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death or of the obedience unto righteousness?
17 Thank God that, although ye were the servants of sin, ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine unto which ye are delivered;
18 and freed from sin, ye are become the servants of righteousness.
