Romans 6:13

Formerly Dead To Sin, Now Alive In Christ

¹² Therefore do not let Sin reign in your mortal bodies and compel you to obey its cravings. ¹³ Do not offer any part of your bodies to Sin, in the cause of unrighteousness, but once for all offer yourselves to God (as those who, though once dead, now have Life), and devote every part of your bodies to the cause of righteousness. ¹⁴ For Sin shall not lord it over you. You are living under the reign, not of Law, but of Love.
