Romans 6:14-18

¹⁴Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.n

¹⁵Well then, since God’s grace has set us free from the law, does that mean we can go on sinning? Of course not!o

¹⁶Don’t you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living.p

¹⁷Thank God! Once you were slaves of sin, but now you wholeheartedly obey this teaching we have given you.q

¹⁸Now you are free from your slavery to sin, and you have become slaves to righteous living.r
