Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience ,
you are slaves of the one whom you obey ,
either of sin resulting in death ,
or of obedience resulting in righteousness ?

But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin ,
you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed ,

and having been freed from sin ,
you became slaves of righteousness .

I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh .
For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness ,
resulting in further lawlessness ,
so now present your members as slaves to righteousness ,
resulting in sanctification .

For when you were slaves of sin ,
you were free in regard to righteousness .

Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed ?
For the outcome of those things is death .

Romans:6:22 @
But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God ,
you derive your benefit ,
resulting in sanctification ,
and the outcome ,
eternal life .

For the wages of sin is death ,
but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord .
