Romans 6:9-7:4

          9For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has dominion over Him.
          10The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.
          11So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

          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.

          15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not!
          16Do you not know that when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to righteousness?
          17But thanks be to God that, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were committed.
          18You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

¹⁹I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.

          20For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness.
          21What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things is death.
          22But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life.
          23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

          1Do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives?
          2For instance, a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.
          3So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law and is not an adulteress, even if she marries another man.

⁴Therefore, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.
