    18Having been set free from sin, you became slaves to righteousness.

    19I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you presented the parts of your body as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present them as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

    20For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with regard to righteousness.

    21But what fruit did you produce then from the things you are now ashamed of? The outcome of those things is death.

    22But now, having been freed from sin and bound to God, you have your fruit, which leads to sanctification—and the outcome is eternal life.

    23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
