I speak

But if our unrighteousness

Unto iniquity

Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?

Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough?

Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”

But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness,

See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled;

Now yield

Unto holiness

But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your

benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life.
