13 For you were called to freedom, brothers. ^qOnly do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love ^rserve one another.

Christ Has Set Us Free

1 For ^sfreedom Christ has ^tset us free; ^ustand firm therefore, and do not submit again to ^va yoke of ^wslavery.

16 ^rLive as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but ^sliving as servants¹ of God.

2 ^kLike newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual ^lmilk, that by it you may grow up into salvation—

19 For this is a gracious thing, when, ^xmindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly.

34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^geveryone who practices sin is a slave¹ to sin.
