“For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.”
For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace. — The κυριότης (kyriotes, "dominion") of sin is definitively broken; being ὑπὸ χάριν (hypo charin, "under grace") rather than ὑπὸ νόμον (hypo nomon, "under law") is the altered power structure. The law reveals sin but does not liberate from it; grace enslaves the believer to God. This pivots toward the extended Romans 7 discussion of law's function.
