Romans 6:14-18
6:14 For sin will have no mastery over you, because you are not under law but under grace.
The Believer’s Enslavement to God’s Righteousness
6:15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Absolutely not!
6:16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or obedience resulting in righteousness?
6:17 But thanks be to God that though you were slaves to sin, you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching you were entrusted to,
6:18 and having been freed from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness.
Romans 6:22
6:22 But now, freed
from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit
leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life.
