Romans:6:15-23

*
What then ?
Shall we sin because we are not under law ,
but under grace ?
Let it not be !
*
Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves as slaves for obedience ,
you are slaves to whom you obey ,
whether of sin to death ,
or obedience to righteousness ?
*
But thanks be to God that you were slaves of sin ,
but you obeyed from the heart the form of doctrine to which you were delivered .
*
And having been set free from sin ,
you were enslaved to righteousness .
*
I speak as a man on account of the weakness of your flesh .
For as you presented your members as slaves to uncleanness and to lawless act unto lawless act ,
so now yield your members as slaves to righteousness unto sanctification .
*
For when you were slaves of sin ,
you were free as to righteousness .
*
Therefore what fruit did you have then in the things over which you are now ashamed ?
For the end of those things is death .
*
But now being set free from sin ,
and being enslaved to God ,
you have your fruit unto sanctification ,
and the end everlasting life .
*
For the wages of sin is death ,
but the free gift of God is everlasting life in Christ Jesus our Lord .
