2 Peter 3:15
15 and consider the apatience of our Lord as salvation, just as also bour beloved brother Paul, caccording to the wisdom given him, wrote to you,
Romans 6:16-22
16 Do you not aknow that when you go on presenting yourselves to someone as bslaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of csin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But athanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you obeyed from the heart that bpattern of teaching to which you were cgiven over, 18 and having been afreed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 aI am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just bas you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, leading to further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, leading to sanctification.
20 For awhen you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 Therefore what abenefit were you then having from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is bdeath. 22 But now having been afreed from sin and benslaved to God, you have your cbenefit, leading to sanctification, and dthe end, eternal life.
Romans 8:15
15 For you ahave not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you bhave received the Spirit of adoption as sons by whom we cry out, “cAbba! Father!”
Romans 8:21
21 that athe creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

Galatians 5:13
13 For you were called to afreedom, brothers; bonly do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love cserve one another.
