Romans 6:11-13

The Voice

¹¹ So here is how to picture yourself now that you have been initiated into Jesus the Anointed: you are dead to sin’s power and influence, but you are alive to God’s rule.

¹² Don’t invite that insufferable tyrant of sin back into your mortal body so you won’t become obedient to its destructive desires. ¹³ Don’t offer your bodily members to sin’s service as tools of wickedness; instead, offer your body to God as those who are alive from the dead, and devote the parts of your body to God as tools for justice and goodness in this world.
