Romans 6:17-21

17But 1thanksG5485 be to GodG2316 that 2though you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you becameG5219 obedientG5219 from the heartG2588 to that 3formG5179 of teachingG1322 to whichG3739 you were committedG3860, 18and having been 4freedG1659 from sinG266, you becameG1402 slavesG1402 of righteousnessG1343. 195I am speakingG3004 in humanG442 termsG442 becauseG1223 of the weaknessG769 of your fleshG4561. For justG5618 6as you presentedG3936 your membersG3196 as slavesG1401 to impurityG167 and to lawlessnessG458, 7resultingG1519 in further lawlessnessG458, soG3779 nowG3568 presentG3936 your membersG3196 as slavesG1401 to righteousnessG1343, 8resultingG1519 in sanctificationG38.

20For 9whenG3753 you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you were freeG1658 in regard to righteousnessG1343. 21ThereforeG3767 whatG5101 1011benefitG2590 were you thenG5119 12derivingG2192 13from the things of whichG3739 you are nowG3568 ashamedG1870? For the outcomeG5056 of thoseG1565 thingsG1565 is 14deathG2288.
