Romans 6:12

Formerly Dead To Sin, Now Alive In Christ

¹¹ Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. ¹² Therefore don't let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. ¹³ Neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
