SCRIPTURE

"For when ye were servants of sin, ye were free in regard of righteousness." — Romans 6:20 (ASV)

Free in regard of righteousness (ελευθερο τη δικαιοσυνη). Ye wore no collar of righteousness, but freely did as ye pleased. They were "free." Note dative case, personal relation, of δικαιοσυνη.
