Romans 6:16-23

16Do you not 1knowG3609 that the one to whomG3739 you presentG3936 yourselvesG1438 as 2slavesG1401 for obedienceG5218, you are slavesG1401 of that same one whomG3739 you obeyG5219, eitherG2273 of 3sinG266 4resultingG1519 inG1519 deathG2288, orG2228 of obedienceG5218 5resultingG1519 inG1519 righteousnessG1343? 17But 6thanksG5485 be to GodG2316 that 7though you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you becameG5219 obedientG5219 from the heartG2588 to that 89formG5179 of teachingG1322 to whichG3739 you were entrustedG3860, 18and after being 10freedG1659 from sinG266, you becameG1402 slavesG1402 to righteousnessG1343. 1911I am speakingG3004 12inG442 humanG442 termsG442 becauseG1223 of the weaknessG769 of your fleshG4561. For justG5618 13as you presentedG3936 14the partsG3196 of your body as slavesG1400 to impurityG167 and to lawlessnessG458, 15resultingG1519 inG1519 further lawlessnessG458, soG3779 nowG3568 presentG3936 16your body’s partsG3196 as slavesG1400 to righteousnessG1343, 17resultingG1519 inG1519 sanctificationG38.

20For 18whenG3753 you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you were freeG1658 in relation to righteousnessG1343. 21ThereforeG3767 whatG5101 1920benefitG2590 were you thenG5119 21derivingG2192 from the things of whichG3739 you areG1870 nowG3568 ashamedG1870? For the outcomeG5056 of thoseG1565 thingsG1565 is 22deathG2288. 22But nowG3570 having been 23freedG1659 from sinG266 and 24enslavedG1402 to GodG2316, you 25deriveG2192 your 2627benefitG2590, 28resultingG1519 inG1519 sanctificationG38, and 29the outcomeG5056, eternalG166 lifeG2222. 23For the wagesG3800 of 30sinG266 is deathG2288, but the graciousG5486 giftG5486 of GodG2316 is 31eternalG166 lifeG2222 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962.
