7. For he who has died has been justified from sin.
8. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live together with Christ.
9. For we know that Christ, in rising up from the dead, can no longer die: death no longer has dominion over him.
10. For in as much as he died for sin, he died once. But in as much as he lives, he lives for God.
11. And so, you should consider yourselves to be certainly dead to sin, and to be living for God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12. Therefore, let not sin reign in your mortal body, such that you would obey its desires.
13. Nor should you offer the parts of your body as instruments of iniquity for sin. Instead, offer yourselves to God, as if you were living after death, and offer the parts of your body as instruments of justice for God.
14. For sin should not have dominion over you. For you are not under the law, but under grace.
