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

Explanation: Okay, let’s break down this verse from Romans 6:14. It’s a really important and often misunderstood one! Here's what it means in simple terms: Basically, this verse says that we aren't under the rules of the law anymore. Let’s unpack that a bit: “Sin shall not have dominion over you…” – This means that sin (which is often thought of as breaking God’s rules) doesn't have power or control over you . It doesn’t get to hurt you or dominate your life. “…but ye are under grace.” – “Grace” here means God’s favor, kindness, and mercy towards us. It’s a gift from God that helps us live right and good. It's like a safety net that protects us from falling into trouble. So, the whole verse is saying: We don't need to worry about following every single law written down anymore. Instead, our salvation (being saved from sin) comes from God’s grace – his love and kindness for us – and it helps us live a good life without being bound by rules we can’t control. Think of it this way: Imagine you're in a race. You need to follow the rules of the race (like staying on the track, not cheating). But when you win, it doesn’t mean you’re allowed to cheat; it just means you’ve achieved something good through your skill and effort. We are in a similar situation – we’re saved by God's grace, not by following rules. It's about freedom! This verse is a powerful message of hope because it frees us from the worry and burden of trying to earn our way to God. Does that make sense? Do you want me to: Explain another part of this verse in more detail? Give you some real-life examples of how this verse applies to everyday life?
