Romans 6:14 “For sin shall not have dominion over you for you are not under the law but under grace”

Let me introduce you to New Testament Grammar 101. First item, righteousness is a noun (a person place or thing), not a verb (action). You don’t have to earn it, deserve it, or work for it. Jesus made you righteous. 1 Corinthians 1:30 says, “You are in Christ Jesus who is made unto you righteousness“. What is righteousness? Right standing with God. Period.

Second item, in the New Testament, sin is mostly translated as a noun, not a verb. Romans 6:14 says, “Sin shall not have dominion over you for you are not under the law but under grace”. Hallelujah! Sin, the curse, and all its affects from the fall of man shall not have dominion over you. What affects? Sickness, poverty, divorce, death, recession and on and on. None of these shall have dominion over you. Period.
