Romans 6:12

Formerly Dead To Sin, Now Alive In Christ

¹¹ So, you too consider yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. ¹² Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, so that you obey its desires. ¹³ And do not offer any parts of it to sin as weapons for unrighteousness. But as those who are alive from the dead, offer yourselves to God, and all the parts of yourselves to God as weapons for righteousness.
