Romans 6:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 [a]But God be thanked, that ye have been the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart unto the [b]form of the doctrine, whereunto ye were delivered.
18 Being then made free from sin, ye are made the servants of righteousness.
19 I speak after the manner of man, because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have given your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity, to commit iniquity, so now give your members servants unto righteousness in holiness.

- Romans 6:17 This kind of speech hath a force in it: for he meaneth thereby that the doctrine of the Gospel is like a certain mold which we are cast into to be framed and fashioned like unto it.
