Romans 6:13

Dead to Sin, Alive to God

12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires.13Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness.14For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.
