New American Standard Bible 1995

Romans 6:11-16

11Even so consider yourselves to be 1dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

12Therefore do not let sin 2reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, 13and do not go on 3presenting 4the members of your body to sin as 5instruments of unrighteousness; but 6present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as 7instruments of righteousness to God. 14For 8sin shall not 9be master over you, for 10you are not under law but 11under grace.

15What then? 12Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? 13May it never be! 16Do you not 14know that when you present yourselves to someone as 15slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of 16sin 17resulting in death, or of obedience 18resulting in righteousness?
