Romans 6:19-20

Slaves to Righteousness

19 s I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For t just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members u as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

20 v For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
