¹² Therefore do not let sin reign^(A) in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.

¹³ Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness,^(A) but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.^(B)

² As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires,^(A) but rather for the will of God.
