¹² So, do not let sin ·control your life [^Lreign; rule over you] ·here on earth [^Lin your mortal body] so that you ·do what your sinful self wants to do [^Lobey/submit to its (evil/sinful) desires]. ¹³ Do not offer ·the parts of your body [or any part of yourself; ^Lyour parts/members] to serve sin, as ·things to be used in doing [^Linstruments/weapons of] ·evil [unrighteousness; injustice]. Instead, offer yourselves to God as people who have died and now live. Offer ·the parts of your body [or every part of yourself; ^Lyour parts/members] to God ·to be used in doing good [^Las instruments/weapons of righteousness/justice]. ¹⁴ [^LFor] Sin will not ·be your master [exercise dominion/power over you], because you are not under law but under God’s grace.
