From Slaves of Sin to Slaves of God

15 What then? Shall we sin (A)because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that (B)to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart (C)that form of doctrine to which you were [a]delivered. 18 And (D)having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness [b]for holiness.

15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid. 16 Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves as [a]servants unto obedience, his [b]servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God, [c]that, whereas ye were [d]servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that [e]form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered; 18 and being made free from sin, ye became [f]servants of righteousness. 19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness unto sanctification.
