Where sin increased, grace abounded all the
more, so that, as sin reigned in death, even so
grace would reign through righteousness to
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. What
shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so
that grace may increase? What then? Shall we
sin because we are not under law but under
grace? - Romans 520-61, 15

this, that our old self was crucified with Him,
in order that our body of sin might be done away
with, so that we would no longer be slaves to

Freed to what? Do you not know that when you
present yourselves to someone as slaves for
obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you
obey, either of sin resulting in death, or
obedience resulting in righteousness? But thanks
be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you
became slaves of righteousness. - Romans

not use this right so that we will cause no

The most striking shift in teenage and twenty
something sexual behavior in the last decade is
the disconnect between sex and emotional
involvement In the NBC/People poll, almost half
of young teens said their sexual contact was
outside of a relationship. A 2001 study found
that 60 of high school juniors whod had sex had
done it with someone who was no more than a
friend. - Jean Twenge
