I. Everyone is a Slave to Someone
Should grace produce a low view of sin?
A. We should not be slaves to sin
In both cases Paul’s reply probably reflects conversations and debates with Jewish or Jewish Christian opponents who proclaimed that his theology of grace undermined the necessity of obedience.
Remember, the charge of the Jews against Paul is that he is teaching that the law was to be ignored, that one could live their life apart from the law.
I am reminded on the expression: you are what you eat.
B. We should be slaves to righteousness
ἐδουλώθητε from δουλόω: it means slave, to enslave, to make someone a slave.
