Romans 6:16-18

Thomson(i) 16 Do you not know that to whatsoever you deliver yourselves up as servants at command, you are the slaves of that which you obey, whether it be of sin for death; or of obedience for righteousness. 17 But thanks be to God, that though you were slaves of sin, yet from the heart you have conformed to the mould of doctrine in which you were cast, 18 and being freed from sin, have become servants of righteousness.
