Romans 6:11-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ So do you also reckon, that you are dead to sin, but alive unto God, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹² Let no sin therefore reign in your mortal body, so as to obey the lusts thereof.

¹³ Neither yield ye your members as instruments of iniquity unto sin; but present yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of justice unto God.

¹⁴ For sin shall not have dominion over you; for you are not under the law, but under grace.

¹⁵ What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

¹⁶ Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey, whether it be of sin unto death, or of obedience unto justice.

¹⁷ But thanks be to God, that you were the servants of sin, but have obeyed from the heart, unto that form of doctrine, into which you have been delivered.
