335 B

do not let sin rule in your mortal body

"Do not let sinful desires control you"

your mortal body

"you"

so that you obey its lusts

Obeying the mortal body's lusts would be the result of letting sin rule in the body. That is why Paul commands people not to let sin rule in their mortal body—so they do not obey its lusts.
