Romans 6:13

13 and do not go on 1presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but 2present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

Romans 6:13 In-Context

11 Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts,
13 and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!
