Romans 6:16 WBT

¹⁴  For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

¹⁵  What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? By no means.

¹⁶  Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants in obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

¹⁷  But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin; but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

¹⁸  Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
