Romans 6:16-18 Do you not know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey them as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey—whether of sin into death, or of obedience into righteousness?

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ Do you not know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey them as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey—whether of sin into death, or of obedience into righteousness? ¹⁷ But thanks be to God that although you used to be the slaves of the sin you wholeheartedly obeyed that pattern of doctrine into which you were delivered. ¹⁸ So having been emancipated from the sin, you became enslaved to the righteousness.
