Romans 6:17-19

17 But ^athanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the ^bstandard of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and, ^chaving been set free from sin, ^dhave become slaves of righteousness. 19 ^eI am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For ^fjust as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members ^gas slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

1 Corinthians 12:2

2 You know that ^hwhen you were pagans ⁱyou were led astray to ^jmute idols, however you were led.

Ephesians 2:1-3

By Grace Through Faith

1 ^kAnd you were ^ldead in the trespasses and sins 2 ^min which you once walked, following the course of this world, following ⁿthe prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in ^othe sons of disobedience— 3 among whom we all once lived in ^pthe passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body ^{▼▼Greek flesh} and the mind, and ^rwere by nature ^schildren of wrath, like the rest of mankind. ^{▼▼Greek like the rest}

Ephesians 4:17-22

The New Life

17 Now this I say and ^utestify in the Lord, ^vthat you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, ^win the futility of their minds. 18 They ^xare darkened in their understanding, ^yalienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to ^ztheir hardness of heart. 19 They ^aahave become callous and ^abhave given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. 20 But that is not the way you ^aclearned Christ!— 21 assuming that ^adyou have heard about him and ^aewere taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, 22 to ^afput off ^agyour old self, ^{▼▼Greek man; also verse 24} which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through ^aideceitful desires,

Ephesians 5:8

8 for ^ajat one time you were ^akdarkness, but now you are light in the Lord. ^alWalk as children of light

Colossians 3:5-7

5 ^amPut to death therefore ^anwhat is earthly in you: ^{▼▼Greek therefore your members that are on the earth} ^apsexual immorality, impurity, ^aqpassion, evil desire, and covetousness, ^arwhich is idolatry. 6 ^asOn account of these the wrath of God is coming. ^{▼▼Some manuscripts add upon the sons of disobedience} 7 ^auIn these you too once walked, when you were living in them.

Titus 3:3-6

3 For ^avwe ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. 4 But when ^awthe goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, ^axnot because of works done by us in righteousness, but ^ayaccording to his own mercy, by ^azthe washing of regeneration and ^barenewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he ^bbpoured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
