Romans 6:14-16
Names of God Bible
14 Certainly, sin shouldn’t have power over you because you’re not controlled by God’s laws, but by God’s favor.[a]
15 Then what is the implication? Should we sin because we are not controlled by God’s laws but by God’s favor? That’s unthinkable! 16 Don’t you know that if you offer to be someone’s slave, you must obey that master? Either your master is sin, or your master is obedience. Letting sin be your master leads to death. Letting obedience be your master leads to God’s approval.

Romans 6:14-16
New International Version
14 For sin shall no longer be your master,(A) because you are not under the law,(B) but under grace.(C)
Slaves to Righteousness
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace?(D) By no means! 16 Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey(E)—whether you are slaves to sin,(F) which leads to death,(G) or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?
