Romans 6:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey, whether it be of sin unto death, or of obedience unto justice.

¹⁷ But thanks be to God, that you were the servants of sin, but have obeyed from the heart, unto that form of doctrine, into which you have been delivered.

¹⁸ Being then freed from sin, we have been made servants of justice.
