Romans 6:16-18

16Don’t you know that if you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of that one you obey  — either of sin leading to death or of obedience leading to righteousness?

17But thank God that, although you used to be slaves of sin, you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching to which you were handed over,

18and having been set free from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness.
