Romans 6:19-22

19 1I am speaking 2in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just 3as you presented 4the parts of your body as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, 5resulting in further lawlessness, so now present 6your body’s parts as slaves to righteousness, 7resulting in sanctification.

20For 8when you were slaves of sin, you were free in relation to righteousness. 21Therefore what 9 10benefit were you then 11deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is 12death. 22But now having been 13freed from sin and 14enslaved to God, you 15derive your 16 17benefit, 18resulting in sanctification, and 19the outcome, eternal life.
