Romans 6:16-23
16Do you not 1knowG3609 that whenG3739 you presentG3936 yourselvesG1438 to someoneG3739 as 2slavesG1401 for obedienceG5218, you are slavesG1401 of the one whomG3739 you obeyG5219, eitherG2273 of 3sinG266 4resultingG1519 in deathG2288, orG2228 of obedienceG5218 5resultingG1519 in righteousnessG1343? 17But 6thanksG5485 be to GodG2316 that 7though you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you becameG5219 obedientG5219 from the heartG2588 to that 8formG5179 of teachingG1322 to whichG3739 you were committedG3860, 18and having been 9freedG1659 from sinG266, you becameG1402 slavesG1402 of righteousnessG1343. 1910I am speakingG3004 in humanG442 termsG442 becauseG1223 of the weaknessG769 of your fleshG4561. For justG5618 11as you presentedG3936 your membersG3196 as slavesG1401 to impurityG167 and to lawlessnessG458, 12resultingG1519 in further lawlessnessG458, soG3779 nowG3568 presentG3936 your membersG3196 as slavesG1401 to righteousnessG1343, 13resultingG1519 in sanctificationG38.
20For 14whenG3753 you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you were freeG1658 in regard to righteousnessG1343. 21ThereforeG3767 whatG5101 1516benefitG2590 were you thenG5119 17derivingG2192 18from the things of whichG3739 you are nowG3568 ashamedG1870? For the outcomeG5056 of thoseG1565 thingsG1565 is 19deathG2288. 22But nowG3570 having been 20freedG1659 from sinG266 and 21enslavedG1402 to GodG2316, you 22deriveG2192 your 2324benefitG2590, 25resultingG1519 in sanctificationG38, and 26the outcomeG5056, eternalG166 lifeG2222. 23For the wagesG3800 of 27sinG266 is deathG2288, but the freeG5486 giftG5486 of GodG2316 is 28eternalG166 lifeG2222 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962.
