nsb - Romans:6:15-23

nsb@Romans:6:15 @ What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid!

nsb@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient servants you are his servants because you obey him? This could be obedience to sin with death in view or obedience to righteousness with holiness in view?

nsb@Romans:6:17 @ But thanks to God, that you were the servants of sin yet you became obedient from the heart to the teachings delivered to you.

nsb@Romans:6:18 @ After being made free from sin, you became servants of righteousness.

nsb@Romans:6:19 @ I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. You once presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to sin. Now you present your members as servants to righteousness and sanctification.

nsb@Romans:6:20 @ When you were servants of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

nsb@Romans:6:21 @ You are now ashamed of the fruit you had at that time. For the results of these things is death.

nsb@Romans:6:22 @ Now you are free from sin and are servants to God. You have your fruit in holiness, and the end everlasting life.

nsb@Romans:6:23 @ For the wages of sin is death, but the gift from God is everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
