Romans 6:14 For sin will have no mastery over you,
because you are not under law but under grace.
6:15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under
grace? Absolutely not! 6:16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves
as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey, either
of sin resulting in death, or obedience resulting in righteousness?
6:17 But thanks be to God that though you were slaves to sin,
you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching you were
entrusted to, 6:18 and having been freed from sin, you became enslaved
to righteousness. 6:19 (I am speaking in human terms because of the
weakness of your flesh.) For just as you once presented your members
as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness,
so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to
sanctification. 6:20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free
with regard to righteousness.
6:21 So what benefit did you then reap from those things that
you are now ashamed of? For the end of those things is death. 6:22
But now, freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit
leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life. 6:23 For
the payoff of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
