Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh - q.d., 'Once we were sold under Sin (Romans 7:14); but now that we have been set free from that hard master, and become servants to Righteousness (Romans 6:22), we owe nothing to the flesh, we disown its unrighteous claims, and are deaf to its imperious demands.' Glorious sentiment!
