Formerly Dead To Sin, Now Alive In Christ

¹¹ So you also, consider yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. ¹² Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you obey its passions. ¹³ Do not yield your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.
