Romans 6:15
Compare all
13 And do not present your amembers as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but bpresent yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.  
14 For asin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.  

From Slaves of Sin to Slaves of God

15 What then? Shall we sin abecause we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!  
16 Do you not know that ato whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?  
17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart athat form of doctrine to which you were1 delivered.  
18 And ahaving been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.  
19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness1 for holiness.  
20 For when you were aslaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.  
21 aWhat fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For bthe end of those things is death.  
22 But now ahaving been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit1 to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.  
23 For athe wages of sin is death, but bthe gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 6:15

Shall we sin because we are not under the law - Shall we abuse our high and holy calling because we are not under that law which makes no provision for pardon, but are under that Gospel which has opened the fountain to wash away all sin and defilement? Shall we sin because grace abounds? Shall we do evil that good may come of it? This be far from us!
