Set Free From Sin

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.
