    18Having been set free from sin, you became slaves to righteousness.

    19I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you presented the parts of your body as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present them as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

    11So you too consider yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    14For sin will not rule over you, because you are not under the law but under grace.

    15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? Certainly not!
