German SCH2000 Schlachter 2000 (Die Bibel (Schlachter 2000))
gebt auch nicht eure Glieder der Sünde hin als Werkzeuge der Ungerechtigkeit, sondern gebt euch selbst Gott hin als solche, die lebendig geworden sind aus den Toten, und eure Glieder Gott als Werkzeuge der Gerechtigkeit!
Was bedeutet das?
This verse from Romans tells us not to let our bodies do bad things for sin, but instead to give ourselves fully to God and use our bodies to do good things for Him.

Historischer Hintergrund
