7. For he who has died has been made right from sin.
8. And if we died with Messiah, we believe that we shall also live with Him,
9. knowing that Messiah, having been raised from the dead, dies no more – death no longer rules over Him.
10. For in that He died, He died to sin once for all; but in that He lives, He lives to Elohim.
11. So you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to Elohim in Messiah יהושע our Master.
12. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires,
13. neither present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to Elohim as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to Elohim.
14. For sin shall not rule over you, for you are not under the law but under favour.
15. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under Torah but under favour? Let it not be!
16. Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves servants for obedience, you are servants of the one whom you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
17. But thanks to Elohim that you were servants of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of teaching to which you were entrusted.
18. And having been set free from sin, you became servants of righteousness.
