Romans 6:18-23
18and after being 1freedG1659 from sinG266, you becameG1402 slavesG1402 to righteousnessG1343. 192I am speakingG3004 3inG442 humanG442 termsG442 becauseG1223 of the weaknessG769 of your fleshG4561. For justG5618 4as you presentedG3936 5the partsG3196 of your body as slavesG1400 to impurityG167 and to lawlessnessG458, 6resultingG1519 inG1519 further lawlessnessG458, soG3779 nowG3568 presentG3936 7your body’s partsG3196 as slavesG1400 to righteousnessG1343, 8resultingG1519 inG1519 sanctificationG38.
20For 9whenG3753 you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you were freeG1658 in relation to righteousnessG1343. 21ThereforeG3767 whatG5101 1011benefitG2590 were you thenG5119 12derivingG2192 from the things of whichG3739 you areG1870 nowG3568 ashamedG1870? For the outcomeG5056 of thoseG1565 thingsG1565 is 13deathG2288. 22But nowG3570 having been 14freedG1659 from sinG266 and 15enslavedG1402 to GodG2316, you 16deriveG2192 your 1718benefitG2590, 19resultingG1519 inG1519 sanctificationG38, and 20the outcomeG5056, eternalG166 lifeG2222. 23For the wagesG3800 of 21sinG266 is deathG2288, but the graciousG5486 giftG5486 of GodG2316 is 22eternalG166 lifeG2222 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962.
