Romans 6:12 in Context — Romans 6

10 Porque el haber muerto, al pecado murió una vez; mas el vivir, á Dios vive.

11 Así también vosotros, pensad que de cierto estáis muertos al pecado, mas vivos á Dios en Cristo Jesús Señor nuestro.

12 No reine, pues, el pecado en vuestro cuerpo mortal, para que le obedezcáis en sus concupiscencias;

13 Ni tampoco presentéis vuestros miembros al pecado por instrumentos de iniquidad; antes presentaos á Dios como vivos de los muertos, y vuestros miembros á Dios por instrumentos de justicia.

14 Porque el pecado no se enseñoreará de vosotros; pues no estáis bajo la ley, sino bajo la gracia.
