For just as in one body we have many members, and not all the members serve the same function,

and do not present your members to sin as instruments<n id="1" /> to be used for unrighteousness,<n id="2" /> but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead and your members to God as instruments<n id="3" /> to be used for righteousness.

(I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.)<n id="1" /> For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

But I see a different law in my members waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that is in my members.

so we who are many are one body in Christ, and individually we are members who belong to one another.

For when we were in the flesh,<n id="1" /> the sinful desires,<n id="2" /> aroused by the law, were active in the members of our body<n id="3" /> to bear fruit for death.
