Romans 6:17-19

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

¹⁷ But thanks be to God that you were slaves of sin, but you obeyed from the heart the form^[a] of teaching to which you were delivered. ¹⁸ And having been set-free from sin, you were enslaved^[b] to righteousness ¹⁹ (I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh). For just as you presented your body-parts as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading-to lawlessness, so now present your body-parts as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.
