Romans 5:12-13 NASB
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, 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.
Encouraging Words...
These verses are presented as a command, to not let sin reign in our bodies, but they also remind us that we (those of us who are in Christ) are now alive from the dead, our members, our body are instruments of righteousness to God. As we celebrated on Pascha, Christ has trampled down death through His death, He was victorious over death, which is the ultimate result of sin. Through this work He has provided for us the way to be victorious over sin.
