Romans 6:14-16

For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under the law but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves who you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or obedience leading to righteousness?

If we sin and allow ourselves to stay in sin, then sin becomes the master. Sin will keep us trapped and say there is no way out. Grace frees us from sin, and with the word of God shows the way of righteousness. Our choice is either to obey God’s word and thrive or obey sin that leads to death.
