Jesus returned from the Jordan River. He was full of the Holy Spirit. {\cf2\super [61]} The Spirit led Jesus into the desert.
Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth. Every person that sins is a slave. Sin is his master.
But don’t let sin control you in your life here on earth. You must not be ruled by the things your sinful self makes you want to do.
Sin will not be your master. Why? Because you are not under law. You now live under God’s grace (kindness).
But I see another law working in my body. That law makes war against the law that my mind accepts. That other law working in my body is the law of sin, and that law makes me its prisoner.
God \{will save me\}! I thank him \{for his salvation\} through Jesus Christ our Lord!
Why? Because in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit {\cf2\super [58]} that brings life made you {\cf2\super [59]} free. It made you {\cf2\super [60]} free from the law that brings sin and death.
For this reason Jesus had to be made like us his brothers and sisters in every way. Jesus became like people so that he could be their merciful and faithful high priest {\cf2\super [14]} in service to God. Then Jesus could bring forgiveness for the people’s sins.
These false teachers promise that those people will have freedom. But the false teachers themselves are not free. They are slaves of things that will be destroyed. A person is a slave to the thing that controls him.
