← Romans 6:14	Romans 6:15 (KJV)	Romans 6:16 →
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.	What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.	Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
