As ye haue geuen your members seruauntes to vncleannesse and iniquitie, vnto iniquitie: euen so nowe geue your members seruauntes to righteousnesse, vnto holynesse. 20 For when ye were the seruauntes of sinne, ye were free from ryghteousnesse. 21 What fruite had ye then in those thynges, wherof ye are nowe ashamed? For the ende of those thynges, is death. 22 But nowe ye beyng made free from sinne, and made the seruauntes of God, haue your fruite vnto holynesse, and the ende euerlastyng lyfe.
