Romans 6:8-14

Since we died with CHRIST, we believe that we will also live with him. And we know that CHRIST, having been raised from the dead, will never die again because death has no power over him. For in his death, he died for sin once for all; but in his life, he lives to God. In the same way, think of yourselves as being dead to sin, but alive to GOD in CHRIST JESUS, our LORD. Therefore, do not let sin rule over your mortal body, that you should obey its desires. And do not allow your body parts to be used as instruments of sin. Instead, give yourself to GOD, as people who have been risen from the dead. Use the parts of your body as instruments of righteousness for GOD. For sin will not rule over you because you are not under the law - you are under the grace of GOD.
