11 So, you too consider yourselves dead to sin  * and alive to God in Christ Jesus.  *

12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, so that you obey  * its desires. 13 And do not offer any parts  * of it to sin  * as weapons for unrighteousness. But as those who are alive from the dead, offer yourselves to God,  * and all the parts of yourselves to God as weapons for righteousness.
