Verse 13
13. Members as instruments Our limbs, all the parts and organs of our body, the false king, Sin, would devote as instruments to execute the behests of the lusts.
Unto God The true king. Instruments of righteousness Instead of lusts. Augustine well says: “Does anger rise? Refuse to give for it your tongue to cursing or your hand to striking. That irrational rage would cease to rise did not sin exist in the members. Abolish its power; let it not have weapons with which it can war against you. It will learn not to rise when it ceases to be allowed arms.”
