Psalms 116:16

16O Lord, I am your aservant;
I am your servant, bthe son of your maidservant.
You have cloosed my bonds.

Romans 6:2-15

2By no means! How can dwe who died to sin still live in it? 3Do you not know that all of us ewho have been baptized finto Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4We were gburied therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as hChrist was raised from the dead by ithe glory of the Father, we too might walk in jnewness of life.

5For kif we have been united with him in la death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6We know that mour old self
Greek man
owas crucified with him in order that pthe body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.
7For qone who has died rhas been set free
Greek  has been justified
from sin.
8Now tif we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9We know that uChrist, being raised from the dead, will never die again; vdeath no longer has dominion over him. 10For the death he died he died to sin, wonce for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. 11So you also must consider yourselves xdead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

12Let not ysin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. 13 zDo not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but aapresent yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. 14For absin acwill have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

Slaves to Righteousness

15What then? adAre we to sin aebecause we are not under law but under grace? By no means!

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

19Or afdo you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? agYou are not your own, 20 ahfor you were bought with a price. aiSo glorify God in your body.

1 Peter 4:2-3

2 ajso as to live for akthe rest of the time in the flesh alno longer for human passions but amfor the will of God. 3For the time that is past ansuffices aofor doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry.
