9 Voi însă sunteţi „o seminţie aleasă, o preoţie împărătească, un neam sfânt, un popor adunat de Dumnezeu” ca să vestiţi faptele măreţe ale Celui ce v-a chemat din întuneric la lumina sa minunată.
Romans 6
16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?17 But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed,
Romans 7
24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
