9We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no more; death no longer has power over him.^h 10As to his death, he died to sin once and for all; as to his life, he lives for God.ⁱ 11Consequently, you too must think of yourselves as [being] dead to sin and living for God in Christ Jesus.^j

12^* Therefore, sin must not reign over your mortal bodies so that you obey their desires.^k 13And do not present the parts of your bodies to sin as weapons for wickedness, but present yourselves to God as raised from the dead to life and the parts of your bodies to God as weapons for righteousness.^l 14For sin is not to have any power over you, since you are not under the law but under grace.^m
