Romans 6:17-19 But thanks be to God, that ye were servants of sin, but obeyed from the heart that form of teaching which was delivered to you;

ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ But thanks be to God, that ye were servants of sin, but obeyed from the heart that form of teaching which was delivered to you; ¹⁸ and being made free from sin, ye became servants of righteousness. ¹⁹ I speak after the manner of men, because of the infirmity of your flesh. For as ye yielded your members servants to uncleanness, and to iniquity unto iniquity; so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto sanctification.
