Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous.

And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.

For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
