Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey--whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience which leads to righteousness?
you are slaves to the one you obey
2 Peter 2:19 They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity--for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.
whether you are slaves to sin
Romans 6:6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin-- ...
Romans 6:12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.
Romans 6:14 For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.
Romans 6:17 But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted.
Romans 6:20 When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness.
Genesis 4:7 "If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it.
Psalm 119:133 Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me.
John 8:34 Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin."
Romans 5:21 ... so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 7:23 ... but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members.
Romans 7:25 Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
Romans 8:2 ... because through Jesus Christ the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.
which leads to death
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
