15 Bible Verses about Subject To Evil

So with us. When we were under age, we lived under the thraldom of the Elemental spirits of the world;

and release from thraldom those who lay under a life-long fear of death.

When you served sin, you were free of righteousness.

Jesus replied, "Truly, truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave.

Thank God, though you did serve sin, you have rendered whole-hearted obedience to what you were taught under the rule of faith;

Do you not know you are the servants of the master you obey, of the master to whom you yield yourselves obedient, whether it is Sin, whose service ends in death, or Obedience, whose service ends in righteousness?
