Rom 6:12-13, 19, 12:1-2, 1Cor 6:12-20 | ESV | STEP | Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body , to make you obey its passions .

Romans 6:12-13

12 Let not ^asin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. 13 ^bDo not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but ^cpresent yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness.

Romans 6:19

19 ^dI am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For ^ejust as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members ^fas slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

Romans 12:1-2

A Living Sacrifice

1 ^gI appeal to you therefore, brothers, ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters} by the mercies of God, ⁱto present your bodies ^jas a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. ^{▼▼Or your rational service} 2 ^lDo not be conformed to this world, ^{▼▼Greek age} but be transformed by ⁿthe renewal of your mind, that by testing you may ^odiscern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. ^{▼▼Or what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God}

1 Corinthians 6:12-20

Flee Sexual Immorality

12 ^q“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. 13 ^r“Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one ^sand the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but ^tfor the Lord, and ^uthe Lord for the body. 14 And ^vGod raised the Lord and ^wwill also raise us up ^xby his power. 15 Do you not know that ^yyour bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined ^{▼▼Or who holds fast (compare Genesis 2:24 and Deuteronomy 10:20); also verse 17} to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, ^aa“The two will become one flesh.” 17 But he who is joined to the Lord ^abbecomes one spirit with him. 18 ^acFlee from sexual immorality. Every other sin ^{▼▼Or Every sin} a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person ^aesins against his own body. 19 Or ^afdo you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? ^agYou are not your own, 20 ^ahfor you were bought with a price. ^aiSo glorify God in your body.
