Romans:6:15-23

*
What then do we say ?
Shall we sin ,
because we are not under law ,
but under favor ?
*
Do you not know ,
that to whom you present yourselves servants ,
by obedience ;
his servants you are whom you thus obey ;
whether of sin into death ,
or of obedience into righteousness ?
*
But ,
thanks to God ,
that though you were the servants of sin ;
yet you have heartily obeyed that model of doctrine to which you have been given up .
*
And being made free from sin ,
you have become the servants of righteousness .
* (
I speak after the manner of men ,
because of the infirmity of your flesh .)
Wherefore ,
as you have presented your members servants to uncleanness ,
and to iniquity ,
to work iniquity ;
so present now your members ,
servants to righteousness ,
to work holiness .
*
For when you were servants of sin ,
you were free from righteousness .
*
And what fruit had you ,
then ,
from these things of which you are now ashamed ?
for the reward of these things is death .
*
But now ,
being set free from sin ,
and having become servants of God ,
you have your fruit to holiness :
and the end ,
everlasting life .
*
For the wages of sin is death :
but the gracious gift of God is everlasting life ,
by Christ Jesus our Lord .
