Romans 6:13

German 2011 (Neue Genfer Übersetzung)

Stellt euch nicht mehr der Sünde zur Verfügung, und lasst euch in keinem Bereich eures Lebens mehr zu Werkzeugen des Unrechts machen. Denkt vielmehr daran, dass ihr ohne Christus tot wart und dass Gott euch lebendig gemacht hat, und stellt euch ihm als Werkzeuge der Gerechtigkeit zur Verfügung, ohne ihm irgendeinen Bereich eures Lebens vorzuenthalten.
