Being Devoted to God » Should be » With our members
Let not sin, therefore, reign in your death-doomed body, that ye should be obedient to its covetings; Neither be presenting your members as weapons of unrighteousness unto sin, but present yourselves unto God as though alive from among the dead, and your members as weapons of righteousness unto God;
To the end that, no longer, in men's covetings, but in God's will, ye may live, the still remaining time.

For, sufficient, is the bygone time - to have wrought out, the will of the nations, having gone on in wanton ways, covetings, wine-drinkings, revellings, drinking-bouts, and impious idolatries: - read more.
Wherein they are taken by surprise that ye run not with them into the same overflow of riotous excess, - uttering defamation: Who shall render an account unto him who is holding in readiness to judge living and dead; For, unto this end, even unto the dead, was the glad-message delivered, - in order that they might be judged, indeed, according to men in flesh, but might live according to God in spirit.
