Romans 6:17-19 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.

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ 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. ¹⁹ I continue to speak on a human level because of the weakness of your flesh. Now just as you used to present your body parts as slaves to uncleanness and to ever increasing lawlessness, so now present your body parts as slaves to righteousness with a view to sanctification.
