Romans 6:16-22

16Do you not knowG3756G1492 thatG3754 when you offerG3936 yourselvesG1438 as obedientG5218 slavesG1401, you areG1510 slavesG1401 toG3739 the one you obeyG5219, whetherG2273 you are slaves to sinG266 leading toG1519 deathG2288, orG2228 to obedienceG5218 leading toG1519 righteousnessG1343? 17ButG1161 thanksG5485 be to GodG2316 thatG3754, though you once wereG1510 slavesG1401 to sinG266, you wholeheartedly obeyedG1161G5219G1537G2588 the formG5179 of teachingG1322 toG1519 whichG3739 you were committedG3860. 18You have been set freeG1659 fromG575 sinG266 and have become slavesG1402 to righteousnessG1343.

19I am speakingG3004 in human termsG442 because ofG1223 theG3588 weaknessG769 ofG3588 yourG4771 fleshG4561. Just asG5618G1063 you used to offerG3936 theG3588 parts ofG3196 yourG4771 body in slaveryG1401 to impurityG167 andG2532 toG3588 escalatingG458G1519 wickednessG458, soG3779 nowG3568 offerG3936 them in slaveryG1401 to righteousnessG1343 leading toG1519 holinessG38.

20ForG1063 whenG3753 you wereG1510 slavesG1401 to sinG266, you wereG1510 free of obligationG1658 to righteousnessG1343. 21WhatG5101 fruitG2590 did you reapG2192 at that timeG5119 from theG1909 things of whichG3739 you are now ashamedG3568G1870? TheG3588 outcomeG5056 of those thingsG1565 is deathG2288. 22ButG1161 nowG3570 that you have been set freeG1659 fromG575 sinG266 andG1161 have become slavesG1402 to GodG2316, theG3588 fruitG2590 you reapG2192G4771 leads to holinessG38, andG1161 theG3588 outcomeG5056 is eternalG166 lifeG2222.
