Romans 6:12 (CSB) Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, so that you obey its desires.
If sin is reigning in our bodies we have given it a place to sit, a throne. That throne is for Jesus. It is that God shaped hole that we try to fill with everything else but God. If sin is sitting on the throne of Jesus reigning our lives we only have two options. We can either let it continue to sit and grown into death or we can repent and dethrone it. When we let it grow we are setting ourselves up for God to give us a depraved mind.
Romans 1:28-32 (CSB) 28 And because they did not think it worthwhile to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to a corrupt mind so that they do what is not right. 29 They are filled with all unrighteousness, evil, greed, and wickedness. They are full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, arrogant, proud, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 senseless, untrustworthy, unloving, and unmerciful. 32 Although they know God's just sentence -- that those who practice such things deserve to die -- they not only do them, but even applaud others who practice them.
Or we can repent and give the throne back to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit and continue to keep sin off of the throne.
