Romans 6:12-16
King James Version
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

New King James Version
12 (A)Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your (B)members as [a]instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but (C)present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For (D)sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
From Slaves of Sin to Slaves of God
15 What then? Shall we sin (E)because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that (F)to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?
