Romans 6:12

Formerly Dead To Sin, Now Alive In Christ

¹¹ Thus do ye too consider yourselves as dead to sin, but alive to God, through Jesus Christ. ¹² Let not then sin reign in your mortal body, bringing you into subjection to its lusts, ¹³ nor yield up your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but yield up yourselves to God, as being alive from the dead, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.
