Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
All Commentaries on Romans 6:12 Go To Romans 6
Irenaeus of Lyons
AD 202
And for this reason he says, in the Epistle to the Romans: "Let not sin, therefore, reign in your mortal body, to be under its control: neither yield ye your members instruments of unrighteousness unto sin; but yield yourselves to God, as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God."
