Romans 6:16 in Context — Romans 6
14 Porque el pecado no se enseñoreará de vosotros; pues no estáis bajo la ley, sino bajo la gracia.
15 ¿Pues qué? ¿Pecaremos, porque no estamos bajo de la ley, sino bajo de la gracia? En ninguna manera.
16 ¿No sabéis que á quien os prestáis vosotros mismos por siervos para obedecer[le], sois siervos de aquel á quien obedecéis, ó del pecado para muerte, ó de la obediencia para justicia?
17 Empero gracias á Dios, que aunque fuisteis siervos del pecado, habéis obedecido de corazón á aquella forma de doctrina á la cual sois entregados;
18 Y libertados del pecado, sois hechos siervos de la justicia.
