Romans 6:7-20

New King James Version

⁷ For ^(A)he who has died has been ^[a]freed from sin. ⁸ Now ^(B)if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, ⁹ knowing that ^(C)Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. ¹⁰ For the death that He died, ^(D)He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, ^(E)He lives to God. ¹¹ Likewise you also, ^[b]reckon yourselves to be ^(F)dead indeed to sin, but ^(G)alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

^12 (H)Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. ¹³ And do not present your ^(I)members as ^[c]instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but ^(J)present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. ¹⁴ For ^(K)sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

From Slaves of Sin to Slaves of God

¹⁵ What then? Shall we sin ^(L)because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! ¹⁶ Do you not know that ^(M)to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? ¹⁷ But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart ^(N)that form of doctrine to which you were ^[d]delivered. ¹⁸ And ^(O)having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. ¹⁹ I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness ^[e]for holiness.

²⁰ For when you were ^(P)slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
