Romans 6:12

Formerly Dead To Sin, Now Alive In Christ

¹¹ Likewise also reckon yourselves to be truly dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ, Jesus, our Lord. ¹² Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, 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.
