Temptation to Trifle with Sin

Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? — Rom 6:1

Shall we go on to sin,
Because thy grace abounds?
Or crucify the Lord again,
And open all his wounds?
We will be slaves no more,
Since Christ has made us free;
Has nail’d our tyrants to his cross,
And bought our liberty.
