Context Readings

Set Free From Sin

20 For when you were the bondservants of sin, you were under no sort of subjection to Righteousness. 21 At that time, then, what benefit did you get from conduct which you now regard with shame? Why, such things finally result in death. 22 But now that you have been set free from the tyranny of Sin, and have become the bondservants of God, you have your reward in being made holy, and you have the Life of the Ages as the final result.
