ISB ~ Romans 6 v19

speaking in human terms:A mild apology for explaining Christian conversion in terms of commercial slave trading. There are obvious limits to the analogy, but Paul wants to ensure that his teaching is well understood.

sanctification:Or, “holiness”. It is a gift received in Baptism that gradually increases as the Spirit penetrates our hearts and lives over time (8:13-14).

See word study:Sanctified at 1 Cor 6:11.
