In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.
In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires
Romans 6:16 Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey--whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death,or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?
Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness
Romans 6:19 I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.

and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness

2 Corinthians 5:14-15 For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
1 Peter 2:24 "He himself bore our sins" (Isaiah 53:4) in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; "by his wounds you have been healed." (Isaiah 53:5)
