Freed from Sin, Servants of God

Do not let sin control your mortal bodies; do not submit yourselves to its evil desires,

and do not give your members over to sin as tools for evil. Instead, offer yourselves, as people who have been brought back from death to life, and let the members of your body be as holy tools in the service of God.

Sin will not dominate you again, for you are not under the law but under grace.

I ask again: are we to sin because we are not under the law but under grace? Absolutely not.

If you have surrendered yourselves to someone as his slave, you are to obey the one who commands you, aren’t you? Now, with sin, you face death, and by accepting faith, you follow the right path.

Let us thank God, for after having sin as your master, you have been given to another—the doctrine of faith to which you listen willingly.

And, free from sin, you began to serve true righteousness.
