15 What then? May we sin, because we are not under law but under grace? May it not happen!
16 Know ye not, that to what ye present yourselves as bondmen for obedience, ye are bondmen to what ye obey, whether of sin for death, or of obedience for righteousness?
17 But thanks to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but ye obeyed from the heart a model of doctrine for which ye were delivered.
18 And having been set free from sin, ye were made servile to righteousness
