Romans 6:19-23 I use these familiar human terms because of the limitations of your nature. For just as you before gave up the parts of your bodies in slavery to vice and greater and greater license, you must now give them up in slavery to uprightness, which leads to consecration.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ I use these familiar human terms because of the limitations of your nature. For just as you before gave up the parts of your bodies in slavery to vice and greater and greater license, you must now give them up in slavery to uprightness, which leads to consecration. ²⁰ For when you were slaves of sin, you were free as far as uprightness was concerned. ²¹ What good did you get from doing the things you are now ashamed of? Why, they result in death! ²² But now that you have been freed from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you get is consecration, and the final result is eternal life. ²³ For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is eternal life through union with Christ Jesus our Lord.
