Romans 6:13

“Neither yield ye your members, etc..] The apostle more fully explains what he means by obeying sin in the lusts thereof; a presenting, or making use of the “members, as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin”: by their “members” he means the several powers and faculties of the soul, and so the Ethiopic version renders it, “your souls”; or the several parts of the body, or both; by “yielding”, or presenting of them, is designed the employment of them in the service of sin, as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: that is, as means of performing unrighteous actions, in obedience to sin, or the corruption of nature with its lusts: the word translated “instruments”, signifies “arms” or…”

“Neither yield ye your members instruments of unrighteousness unto Sin, but yield yourselves--this is the great surrender. unto God as those that are alive from the dead, and--as the fruit of this. your members--till now prostituted to sin. instruments of righteousness unto God--But what if indwelling sin should prove too strong for us? The reply is: But it will not.”

“Neither yield ye your members - Do not give up, or devote, or employ your members, etc. The word “members” here refers to the members of the body - the hands, feet, tongue, etc. It is a specification of what in Romans 6:12 is included under the general term “body;” see Romans 7:5, Rom 7:23; 1 Corinthians 6:15; 1 Corinthians 12:12, 1Co 12:18, 1 Corinthians 12:20. As instruments - This word ὁπλα hopla properly signifies “arms;” or implements of war; but it also denotes an instrument of any kind which we use for defense or aid. Here it means that we should not devote our members - our hands, tongue, etc., as if under the direction of sinful passions and corrupt desires, to accomplish purposes…”

“Neither present your members to sin - To corrupt nature, a mere tyrant. But to God - Your lawful King. Romans 6:14”
