Romans 6:12-19

12ThereforeG3767 do not let sin reignG3361G936G3588G266 inG1722 yourG4771 mortalG2349 bodyG4983 so thatG1519 you obeyG5219 itsG846 desiresG1939. 13Do notG3366 presentG3936 theG3588 partsG3196 of yourG4771 body to sinG266 as instrumentsG3696 of wickednessG93, butG235 presentG3936 yourselvesG1438 to GodG2316 asG5616 those who have been brought fromG1537 deathG3498 to lifeG2198; andG2532 present theG3588 partsG3196 of yourG4771 body toG2316 Him as instrumentsG3696 of righteousnessG1343. 14ForG1063 sinG266 shall not be your masterG3756G2961G4771, becauseG1063 you areG1510 notG3756 underG5259 lawG3551, butG235 underG5259 graceG5485.

15WhatG5101 thenG3767? Shall we sinG264 becauseG3754 we areG1510 notG3756 underG5259 lawG3551, butG235 underG5259 graceG5485? Certainly notG3361G1096! 16Do you not knowG3756G1492 thatG3754 when you offerG3936 yourselvesG1438 as obedientG5218 slavesG1401, you areG1510 slavesG1401 toG3739 the one you obeyG5219, whetherG2273 you are slaves to sinG266 leading toG1519 deathG2288, orG2228 to obedienceG5218 leading toG1519 righteousnessG1343? 17ButG1161 thanksG5485 be to GodG2316 thatG3754, though you once wereG1510 slavesG1401 to sinG266, you wholeheartedly obeyedG1161G5219G1537G2588 the formG5179 of teachingG1322 toG1519 whichG3739 you were committedG3860. 18You have been set freeG1659 fromG575 sinG266 and have become slavesG1402 to righteousnessG1343.

19I am speakingG3004 in human termsG442 because ofG1223 theG3588 weaknessG769 ofG3588 yourG4771 fleshG4561. Just asG5618G1063 you used to offerG3936 theG3588 parts ofG3196 yourG4771 body in slaveryG1401 to impurityG167 andG2532 toG3588 escalatingG458G1519 wickednessG458, soG3779 nowG3568 offerG3936 them in slaveryG1401 to righteousnessG1343 leading toG1519 holinessG38.
