Romans 6:14-16

Living Bible

¹⁴ Sin need never again be your master,^[a] for now you are no longer tied to the law where sin enslaves you, but you are free under God’s favor and mercy.

¹⁵ Does this mean that now we can go ahead and sin and not worry about it? (For our salvation does not depend on keeping the law but on receiving God’s grace!) Of course not!

¹⁶ Don’t you realize that you can choose your own master? You can choose sin (with death) or else obedience (with acquittal). The one to whom you offer yourself—he will take you and be your master, and you will be his slave.
