Rom. 6. v. 1, 2. What shall we say then? shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid; How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? compared with vers 15. and 16. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the Law, but under Grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield your selves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
