Let it not be so!Do you not know to whom you are offering yourselves as servants under obedience? You are the servants of whomever you obey: whether of sin, unto death, or of obedience, unto justice.But thanks be to God that, though you used to be the servants of sin, now you have been obedient from the heart to the very form of the doctrine into which you have been received.And having been freed from sin, we have become servants of justice.I am speaking in human terms because of the infirmity of your flesh. For just as you offered the parts of your body to serve impurity and iniquity, for the sake of iniquity, so also have you now yielded the parts of your body to serve justice, for the sake of sanctification.Let it not be so! For how can we who have died to sin still live in sin?

I am confident of this very thing: that he who has begun this good work in you will perfect it, unto the day of Christ Jesus.

For the First Sabbath. A Psalm of David. The earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord: the whole world and all that dwells in it.Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of virtue.
