11 Even so count yourselves also to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.

12 Therefore let not sin rule as king in your mortal body, compelling you to obey its lusts.

13 Do not continue to present any part of your body to sin to be used as a weapon of unrighteousness. On the contrary, be presenting yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and the various parts of your bodies to be used as weapons of righteousness.
