¹⁴ For ^(A)sin shall not ^(B)be master over you, for ^(C)you are not under ^[a]the Law but ^(D)under grace.

¹⁶ Do you not ^(A)know that the one to whom you present yourselves as ^(B)slaves for obedience, you are slaves of that same one whom you obey, either of ^(C)sin ^[a]resulting in death, or of obedience ^[b]resulting in righteousness?

¹⁷ But ^(A)thanks be to God that ^[a]though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that ^[b](B)form of teaching to which you were entrusted,

^19 (A)I am speaking ^[a]in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just ^(B)as you presented ^[b]the parts of your body as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, ^[c]resulting in further lawlessness, so now present ^[d]your body’s parts as slaves to righteousness, ^[e]resulting in sanctification.

²⁰ For ^(A)when you were slaves of sin, you were free in relation to righteousness.
