Slavery to Righteousness

15

What then? shall we sinne, because we are not vnder the Law, but vnder grace? God forbid.

16

Knowe ye not, that to whomsoeuer yee giue your selues as seruats to obey, his seruants ye are to whom ye obey, whether it be of sinne vnto death, or of obedience vnto righteousnesse?

17

But God be thanked, that ye haue beene the seruants of sinne, but yee haue obeyed from the heart vnto the forme of the doctrine, wherunto ye were deliuered.

18

Being then made free from sinne, yee are made the seruants of righteousnesse.

19

I speake after the maner of man, because of the infirmitie of your flesh: for as yee haue giuen your members seruants to vncleannes and to iniquitie, to commit iniquitie, so now giue your mebers seruants vnto righteousnesse in holinesse.

20

For when ye were the seruants of sinne, ye were freed from righteousnesse.

21

What fruit had ye then in those things, whereof ye are nowe ashamed? For the ende of those things is death.

22

But now being freed from sinne, and made seruants vnto God, ye haue your fruit in holines, and the end, euerlasting life.

23

For the wages of sinne is death: but the gift of God is eternall life, through Iesus Christ our Lord.
