• The body is now the mere instrument of divine life; and we are free to use it for God as such. (“Romans 6” by J.N. Darby)
• We no longer have to yield the "members" of our bodies (our ears, eyes, hands, feet, etc.) to the lusts of the flesh. Living in that sphere of life with what we have in Christ in communion with God, there will be the practical power to resist the flesh. (“The Believer's Identification With the Death of Christ: Romans 6-7:1-6” by B. Anstey)
• We are to yield "as those that are alive from the dead"-that is, from the perspective of those living in that new sphere of life with God. (“The Believer's Identification With the Death of Christ: Romans 6-7:1-6” by B. Anstey)
• "Yield" is mentioned twice in this verse, but each occurrence has a different tense in the Greek. One is a present or a continuous (on-going) tense: "Neither yield your members as instruments of unrighteousness." This means that at no time should we think of yielding to sin. The other is an aorist tense, which refers to something that is to be done once and for all: "But yield yourselves unto God." This should be one accomplished act. (“The Believer's Identification With the Death of Christ: Romans 6-7:1-6” by B. Anstey)

Neither yieldh your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God as alive from among the deadi, and your members instruments of righteousness to God.

JND Translation Notes

+
h
There is a distinction between the present tense, which has a continuous present sense, and the aorist, which gives the act in itself. "Neither yield your members," ver. 13 (present tense), means that it is at no time to be done. "Yield yourselves to God" and "yield your members," ver. 15 (aorists), mean let it have been done, as a once accomplished act.
i
Lit. "as out of dead alive." The order of the words gives a contrasted force. not merely that they came thence. But "out of dead alive" is hardly English.

W. Kelly Translation

nor be yielding your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God as alive out of [the] dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
