Roma 6:11-13
Konteks6:11 So you too consider yourselves 1 dead to sin, but 2 alive to God in Christ Jesus.
6:12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires, 6:13 and do not present your members to sin as instruments 3 to be used for unrighteousness, 4 but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead and your members to God as instruments 5 to be used for righteousness.
Roma 6:16-18
Konteks6:16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves 6 as obedient slaves, 7 you are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or obedience resulting in righteousness? 8 6:17 But thanks be to God that though you were slaves to sin, you obeyed 9 from the heart that pattern 10 of teaching you were entrusted to, 6:18 and having been freed from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness.
