17 But thanks be to God, that you who were once ^xslaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed,

5 For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful ^jpassions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit ^kfor death.

17 So now ^uit is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.
