Slavery to Righteousness

15

What then? shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? let it not be!

16

have ye not known that to whom ye present yourselves servants for obedience, servants ye are to him to whom ye obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

17

and thanks to God, that ye were servants of the sin, and--were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which ye were delivered up;

18

and having been freed from the sin, ye became servants to the righteousness.

19

In the manner of men I speak, because of the weakness of your flesh, for even as ye did present your members servants to the uncleanness and to the lawlessness--to the lawlessness, so now present your members servants to the righteousness--t sanctification,

20

for when ye were servants of the sin, ye were free from the righteousness,

21

what fruit, therefore, were ye having then, in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those is death.

22

And now, having been freed from the sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit--to sanctification, and the end life age-during;

23

for the wages of the sin is death, and the gift of God is life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord.
