Do not let sin reign in your mortal body. Do not let sin reign in your mortal body . Do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires. For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace . Then we saw how the enemy does battle.
Sin is the enemy, the rebel, the pretender to the throne.
And the main way sin does battle against us is to turn servants into traitors. It turns servant-desires into conspirators against the throne. They do this by making obedience to the Judas-desires seem very rewarding. They lie to us with half-truths. It will feel good.
