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
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
The reign of sin is overthrown and destroyed, partly by such an amendment on the part of men that the flesh is made subject to the spirit and partly by the condemnation of those who are persevering in sin, in order that they might be so justly restrained that they cannot be troublesome to the righteous, who reign with Christ. Commentary on the Lord’s Sermon on the Mount.
