* What then ? Shall we commit an act of sin because we are not under law , but under grace ? Certainly not . * Do you not know that when you surrender yourselves as slaves to any one to obey him , you are his slaves whom you obey ; whether it be sin , whose end is death , or obedience , whose end is righteousness ? * But God be thanked that you who were once the slaves of sin have obeyed from your hearts that type of teaching to which you were appointed ; * and being set free from sin , you became the slaves of righteousness - * I speak in these homely figures because of the weakness of your fleshly nature - just as you once surrendered your faculties into slavery to impurity and to all lawlessness , so now you must surrender your faculties into slavery to righteousness , unto deeds of holiness . * For when you were the slaves of sin , you were under no subjection to righteousness . * What harvest-fruit then had you at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed ? For the end of those things is death . * But now that you have been set free from sin and become slaves of God , the harvest-fruit which you are reaping tends to produce holiness , and it ends is life eternal . * FOR THE POOR WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH , BUT THE FREE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS , OUR MASTER .
