Romans 6:16-22

Murdock(i) 16 Know ye not, that to whomsoever ye give up yourselves to serve in bondage, his servants ye are, whom ye serve; whether it be to sin, or whether it be to righteousness, that ye give ear? 17 But thanks be to God, that ye were once the servants of sin but have now from the heart obeyed that form of doctrine to which ye are devoted. 18 And when ye were emancipated from sin, ye became servants to righteousness. 19 -(I speak as among men, because of the infirmity of your flesh.)-As ye once gave up your members to the servitude of pollution and iniquity, so also now give ye up your members to the servitude of righteousness and sanctity. 20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were emancipated from righteousness. 21 And what harvest had ye then, in that of which ye are now ashamed? For the result thereof is death. 22 And now, as ye have been emancipated from sin, and have become servants to God, your fruits are holy; and the result thereof is life everlasting.
