New American Standard Bible 1995

Romans 6:19-22

19 1I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just 2as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, 3resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, 4resulting in sanctification.

20For 5when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21Therefore what 6 7benefit were you then 8deriving 9from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is 10death. 22But now having been 11freed from sin and 12enslaved to God, you 13derive your 14 15benefit, 16resulting in sanctification, and 17the outcome, eternal life.
