rkjnt - Romans:6:15-23

rkjnt@Romans:6:15 @ What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? By no means.

rkjnt@Romans:6:16 @ Do you not know that if you yield yourselves as slaves to obey someone, you are slaves of the one you obey; whether of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?

rkjnt@Romans:6:17 @ But thanks be to God, that you who were once the slaves of sin, have obeyed from the heart that standard of teaching which was entrusted to you.

rkjnt@Romans:6:18 @ Being then set free from sin, you became the slaves of righteousness.

rkjnt@Romans:6:19 @ I speak after the manner of men, because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as you have yielded your members as slaves to uncleanness and to ever increasing iniquity; so now yield your members as slaves to righteousness, leading to holiness.

rkjnt@Romans:6:20 @ For when you were the slaves of sin, you were free from the control of righteousness.

rkjnt@Romans:6:21 @ But what benefit did you get from those things of which you are now ashamed? for the result of those things is death.

rkjnt@Romans:6:22 @ But now, having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you gain the benefit that leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.

rkjnt@Romans:6:23 @ For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
