Romans 6:16-20
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.
2 Peter 2:19
19 promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for aby what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.
