Romans 6:14-16
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
14 For sin shall not lord-over you— for you are not under the Law[a], but under grace.
This Does Not Mean We Should Sin Because We Are Not Under Law, But Under Grace
15 Therefore, what? Should we sin[b] because we are not under the Law but under grace? May it never be!
You Were Freed From Slavery To Sin. So Present Yourselves As Slaves of Righteousness
16 Do you not know that to whom you are presenting yourselves as slaves for obedience, you are slaves to whom you are obeying— whether slaves of sin leading-to[c] death, or slaves of obedience leading-to righteousness?
