Romans:6:15-23

*
What then ?
should we sin because we are not under law but under grace ?
Far be the thought .
*
Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves bondmen for obedience ,
ye are bondmen to him whom ye obey ,
whether of sin unto death ,
or of obedience unto righteousness ?
*
But thanks [
be ]
to God ,
that ye were bondmen of sin ,
but have obeyed from the heart the form of teaching into which ye were instructed .
*
Now ,
having got your freedom from sin ,
ye have become bondmen to righteousness .
*
I speak humanly on account of the weakness of your flesh .
For even as ye have yielded your members in bondage to uncleanness and to lawlessness unto lawlessness ,
so now yield your members in bondage to righteousness unto holiness .
*
For when ye were bondmen of sin ye were free from righteousness .
*
What fruit therefore had ye then in the things of which ye are now ashamed ?
for the end of them [
is ]
death .
*
But now ,
having got your freedom from sin ,
and having become bondmen to God ,
ye have your fruit unto holiness ,
and the end eternal life .
*
For the wages of sin [
is ]
death ;
but the act of favour of God ,
eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord .
