Romans 6:17-18 Part 2 of 2

But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

You have been set free from sin 

Romans 6:2  By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? 

Romans 6:6-7  For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin--because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.

Romans 8:2  ... because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. 

1 Peter 4:1  Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin.

 

and have become slaves to righteousness 

Romans 6:22  But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. 

1 Peter 2:16  Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God's slaves.
