7 The person who has died has been freed from sin.
8 If we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
9 We know that Christ, who was brought back to life, will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him.
10 When he died, he died once and for all to sin’s power. But now he lives, and he lives for God.
11 So consider yourselves dead to sin’s power but living for God in the power Christ Jesus gives you.
12 Therefore, never let sin rule your physical body so that you obey its desires.
13 Never offer any part of your body to sin’s power. No part of your body should ever be used to do any ungodly thing. Instead, offer yourselves to God as people who have come back from death and are now alive. Offer all the parts of your body to God. Use them to do everything that God approves of.
