Romans 6:17 in Context — Romans 6
15 Quoi donc! Pécherions-nous, parce que nous sommes, non sous la loi, mais sous la grâce? Loin de là!
16 Ne savez-vous pas qu’en vous livrant à quelqu’un comme esclaves pour lui obéir, vous êtes esclaves de celui à qui vous obéissez, soit du péché qui conduit à la mort, soit de l’obéissance qui conduit à la justice?
17 Mais grâces soient rendues à Dieu de ce que, après avoir été esclaves du péché, vous avez obéi de cœur à la règle de doctrine dans laquelle vous avez été instruits.
18 Ayant été affranchis du péché, vous êtes devenus esclaves de la justice.
19 Je parle à la manière des hommes, à cause de la faiblesse de votre chair. De même donc que vous avez livré vos membres comme esclaves à l’impureté et à l’iniquité, pour arriver à l’iniquité, ainsi maintenant livrez vos membres comme esclaves à la justice, pour arriver à la sainteté.
