In Context

17But Baruch Hashem (Blessed be G-d) that you used to be avadim (slaves) of + 6:17 slave master Chet, but you gave your mishma'at shebalev (obedience from the heart) to the pattern of Torah + 6:17 Isa 42:4 (the pnimiyus Torah of Moshiach) to which you were handed over.

For just as you handed over your natural capacities as avadim (slaves) to tum'a (uncleanness) and to lawlessness which results in lawlessness, so now hand over your natural capacities as servants of Tzidkat Hashem which results in kedushah (holiness).

On Sanctification. ( a. d. 58.) 1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness… Read the whole commentary →
