Romans 6:13
Compare all
11 Likewise you also,1 reckon yourselves to be adead indeed to sin, but balive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.  
12 aTherefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.  
13 And do not present your amembers as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but bpresent yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.  
14 For asin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.  

From Slaves of Sin to Slaves of God

15 What then? Shall we sin abecause we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!  
16 Do you not know that ato whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?  
17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart athat form of doctrine to which you were1 delivered.

Romans 6:13

Neither present (mhde paristanete). Present active imperative in prohibition of paristanw, late form of paristhmi, to place beside. Stop presenting your members or do not have the habit of doing so, "do not go on putting your members to sin as weapons of unrighteousness."

Instruments (opla). Old word for tools of any kind for shop or war (John 18:3; II Corinthians 6:7; II Corinthians 10:4; Romans 13:12). Possibly here figure of two armies arrayed against each other (Galatians 5:16-24), and see opla dikaiosunhv below. The two sets of opla clash.

But present yourselves unto God (alla parasthsate eautouv tw qew). First aorist active imperative of paristhmi, same verb, but different tense, do it now and completely. Our "members" (melh) should be at the call of God "as alive from the dead."
