12 Do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you will obey its lusts,
13 and do not yield your members to sin as the instruments of wickedness; but present yourselves to God as men once dead, but now living, and yield your members to God as the instruments of righteousness.
14 For sin shall not be king over you; for you are not under law, but under grace.
15 What then? May we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Never.
16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves as servants intending obedience, you are the servants of the one you obey, whether of sin, resulting in death, or of obedience, resulting in righteousness?
17 Thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin you became obedient from the heart to the type of teaching in which you were instructed.
18 You were made free from sin and made servants to righteousness.
