Romans 6:14-16
English Standard Version
14 For (A)sin (B)will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
Slaves to Righteousness
15 What then? (C)Are we to sin (D)because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! 16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves (E)to anyone as obedient slaves,[a] you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
