Romans 6

¹⁷ But thanks be to God that, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were committed.

¹⁸ You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

²⁰ For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness.
