Paul is speaking of obedience as if it were paying back a debt. Alternate translation: "we need to obey" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

Again Paul speaks of obedience as if it were paying back a debt. You can include the implied word "debtors." Alternate translation: "but we are not debtors to the flesh, and we do not have to obey our sinful desires" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
