Romans 6:15-19
Slaves of Righteousness
15What then? aShall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? bMay it never be! 16Do you not aknow that when you go on presenting yourselves to someone as bslaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of csin 1leading to death, or of obedience 2leading to righteousness? 17But athanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you obeyed from the heart that bpattern of teaching to which you were cgiven over, 18and having been afreed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19aI am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just bas you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, 1leading to further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, 2leading to sanctification.
