rsv Romans:6:20-23
rsv@Romans:6:20 @ When you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
rsv@Romans:6:21 @ But then what return did you get from the things of which you are now ashamed? The end of those things is death.
rsv@Romans:6:22 @ But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the return you get is sanctification and its end, eternal life.
rsv@Romans:6:23 @ For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
