Romans 6:17-22 God be thanked that, though you were once servants of Sin, yet you learned to give hearty obedience to that form of doctrine under which you were placed.

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ God be thanked that, though you were once servants of Sin, yet you learned to give hearty obedience to that form of doctrine under which you were placed. ¹⁸ Set free from the control of Sin, you became servants to Righteousness. ¹⁹ I can but speak as men do because of the weakness of your earthly nature. Once you offered every part of your bodies to the service of impurity, and of wickedness, which leads to further wickedness. Now, in the same way, offer them to the service of Righteousness, which leads to holiness. ²⁰ While you were still servants of Sin, you were free as regards Righteousness. ²¹ But what were the fruits that you reaped from those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of such things is Death. ²² But now that you have been set free from the control of Sin, and have become servants to God, the fruit that you reap is an ever-increasing holiness, and the end Immortal Life.
