Obedience makes us slaves –
Wow, the Williams version has it crazy that even habits are undesirable so much we are slaves to them. What habit or regular sin is holding us back and keeping us from slavery to righteousness? We need to be seeking righteousness.
Romans 6:16
(WEB)
“Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?”
(Williams)
“Do you not know that when you habitually offer yourselves to anyone for obedience to him, you are slaves to that one whom you are in the habit of obeying, whether it is the slavery to sin whose end is death or to obedience whose end is right-doing?”
