For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace.

'Sin shall not have dominion over you' -'for sin shall not have the mastery over you' (Con)

'Are not under law, but under grace' -under. system that demands flawless law-keeping to maintain innocence, sin would rule us, for all sin (Romans 3:23). But under grace, for the person that seeks God's forgiveness and is always ready to repent, sin can never rule us, because forgiveness is always available. (Romans 4:7-8; 1 John 1:8; 1 John 2:1)

'Under the reign of Christ sin does not have dominion over any one till he submits to its control and does not seek forgiveness.'

'Sin shall not be your lord' is not only assurance, it is. call to arms. These people have been delivered from sin and are called now to act in that fashion by refusing to let Sin lord it over them.'
