Romans 6:11-14

(Rom 6:11 NASB)  Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

(Rom 6:12 NASB)  Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts,

(Rom 6:13 NASB)  and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

(Rom 6:14 NASB)  For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
