Romans 6:12

Formerly Dead To Sin, Now Alive In Christ

¹¹ Even so count yourselves also to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus. ¹² Therefore let not sin rule as king in your mortal body, compelling you to obey its lusts. ¹³ Do not continue to present any part of your body to sin to be used as a weapon of unrighteousness. On the contrary, be presenting yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and the various parts of your bodies to be used as weapons of righteousness.
