Romans 6:16-22

16Do you not know that if you present yourselves ato anyone as obedient slaves, ▼
▼For the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface (twice in this verse and verse 19; also once in verses 17, 20)
 you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17But cthanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the dstandard of teaching to which you were committed, 18and, ehaving been set free from sin, fhave become slaves of righteousness. 19 gI am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For hjust as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members ias slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

20 jFor when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 kBut what fruit were you getting at that time from the things lof which you are now ashamed? mFor the end of those things is death. 22But now that you nhave been set free from sin and ohave become slaves of God, pthe fruit you get leads to sanctification and qits end, eternal life.

Romans 8:15

15For ryou did not receive sthe spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of tadoption as sons, by whom we cry, u“Abba! Father!”

Romans 8:21

21that vthe creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

Galatians 5:1

Christ Has Set Us Free

1For wfreedom Christ has xset us free; ystand firm therefore, and do not submit again to za yoke of aaslavery.

Galatians 5:13

13For you were called to freedom, brothers. abOnly do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love acserve one another.

2 Peter 3:15

15And count adthe patience of our Lord as salvation, just as aeour beloved brother Paul also wrote to you afaccording to the wisdom given him,
