Romans 6:17-19

¹⁷But thank God you''ve started listening to a new master,q

¹⁸one whose commands set you free to live openly in his freedom!r

¹⁹I''m using this freedom language because it''s easy to picture. You can readily recall, can''t you, how at one time the more you did just what you felt like doing--not caring about others, not caring about God--the worse your life became and the less freedom you had? And how much different is it now as you live in God''s freedom, your lives healed and expansive in holiness?s
