Disciples’ Literal New Testament
18 And having been set-free from sin, you were enslaved[a] to righteousness 19 (I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh). For just as you presented your body-parts as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading-to lawlessness, so now present your body-parts as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.

20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free to[b] righteousness.
