11 Likewise count yourselves also to be truly dead to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.13 Do not yield your members [as] instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God, as [one] alive from [the] dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness to God.
