Romans 6:6

6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—

Romans 7:6

6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.

Romans 7:25

25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.

Romans 9:12

12 not by works but by him who calls—she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”

Romans 12:11

11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

Romans 14:18

18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.

Romans 16:18

18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.
