Romans 6:17 in Context — Romans 6

15 Então, quê? Pecaremos, já que não estamos sob a Lei, mas sob a graça? De maneira nenhuma!

16 Não sabeis vós, que a quem vos apresentardes por servos para obedecer, sois servos daquele a quem obedeceis? Ou do pecado para a morte, ou da obediência para a justiça.

17 Porém, graças a Deus que vós éreis servos do pecado, mas [agora] , de coração obedeceis à forma de doutrina a que vós fostes entregues;

18 e, sendo libertos do pecado, vos tornastes servos da justiça.

19 Estou falando na lógica humana, pela fraqueza de vossa carne. Pois, assim como apresentastes os membros do vosso corpo como servos da impureza e da maldade para a maldade, assim também apresentai agora os vossos membros como servos da justiça para a santificação.
