[I'm a little late to the party... was concentrating on some other projects and other threads when this OP had popped up... my apologies, I had intended on responding earlier in the week = ) ]
Here are some of the things I've posted in the past...
...note the distinction in Romans between "sinS" and "Sin":
--Romans 1 - 5:11 - "sinS" (sins we commit; things committed or omitted...; and verbs like "sinned" etc);
--Romans 5:12 - chpt 8-end - "Sin" ('the sin principle' / 'the principle of sin')
--'body of sin' = 'the sin principle' [often written as 'the sin' in Rom5:12 - chpt 8-end]
( ^ same as the phrase, "the body of this death" in 7:24, I believe [...'the sin principle'])
...so, not only freed from the guilt and penalty of sin, but also from the power & domination of 'sin'... 'the sin principle' / 'the principle of sin' (as expressed by the old nature--BTW, "one-naturism" is not biblically accurate [...the believer has two natures]).
...God did not 'forgive' 'Sin'/'the sin principle'/the 'principle of sin' (rather, 'condemned [the] sin in the flesh' 8:3b [see listing below, for the references having the definite article ('the')]):
"the sin" (with definite article) - 5:12 [2x], 5:20, 5:21, 6:1, 6:2, 6:6, 6:7, 6:10, 6:11, 6:12, 6:13, 6:17, 6:18, 6:20, 6:22, 6:23, 7:7, 7:8, 7:9, 7:11, 7:13 [2x], [7:17, 7:20], 7:23, 8:2, 8:3b
note 6:10 - "For in that He died, He died unto sin [/unto the sin] once [note: Jesus did not have a 'sin nature']: but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God."

Hope that helps. = )
