Romans 6:13-23

13and do not go on 1presentingG3936 2the partsG3196 of your body to sinG266 as 3instrumentsG3696 of unrighteousnessG93; but 4presentG3936 yourselvesG1438 to GodG2316 as those who areG2198 aliveG2198 from the deadG3498, and 5your body’s partsG3196 as 6instrumentsG3696 of righteousnessG1343 for GodG2316. 14For 7sinG266 shall not 8be masterG2961 overG2961 you, for 9you are not underG5259 10the LawG3551 but 11underG5259 graceG5485.

15WhatG5101 thenG3767? 12Are we to sinG264 becauseG3754 we are not underG5259 13the LawG3551 but underG5259 graceG5485? 1415FarG3361 fromG3361 it! 16Do you not 16knowG3609 that the one to whomG3739 you presentG3936 yourselvesG1438 as 17slavesG1401 for obedienceG5218, you are slavesG1401 of that same one whomG3739 you obeyG5219, eitherG2273 of 18sinG266 19resultingG1519 inG1519 deathG2288, orG2228 of obedienceG5218 20resultingG1519 inG1519 righteousnessG1343? 17But 21thanksG5485 be to GodG2316 that 22though you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you becameG5219 obedientG5219 from the heartG2588 to that 2324formG5179 of teachingG1322 to whichG3739 you were entrustedG3860, 18and after being 25freedG1659 from sinG266, you becameG1402 slavesG1402 to righteousnessG1343. 1926I am speakingG3004 27inG442 humanG442 termsG442 becauseG1223 of the weaknessG769 of your fleshG4561. For justG5618 28as you presentedG3936 29the partsG3196 of your body as slavesG1400 to impurityG167 and to lawlessnessG458, 30resultingG1519 inG1519 further lawlessnessG458, soG3779 nowG3568 presentG3936 31your body’s partsG3196 as slavesG1400 to righteousnessG1343, 32resultingG1519 inG1519 sanctificationG38.

20For 33whenG3753 you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you were freeG1658 in relation to righteousnessG1343. 21ThereforeG3767 whatG5101 3435benefitG2590 were you thenG5119 36derivingG2192 from the things of whichG3739 you areG1870 nowG3568 ashamedG1870? For the outcomeG5056 of thoseG1565 thingsG1565 is 37deathG2288. 22But nowG3570 having been 38freedG1659 from sinG266 and 39enslavedG1402 to GodG2316, you 40deriveG2192 your 4142benefitG2590, 43resultingG1519 inG1519 sanctificationG38, and 44the outcomeG5056, eternalG166 lifeG2222. 23For the wagesG3800 of 45sinG266 is deathG2288, but the graciousG5486 giftG5486 of GodG2316 is 46eternalG166 lifeG2222 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962.
