“For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.”
When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. — Slavery to sin freed from righteousness's claim; the life of sin experienced itself as liberty but was actually bondage. This inverts apparent freedom: the unbeliever is freed from the good. The grammar traces the historical arc: past slavery, present liberation.
