Here is one way:

Rom 6:11-13 (AKJV/PCE)
(6:11) Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. (6:12) Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. (6:13) Neither yield ye your members [as] instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto God.
