Romans 6:15-23 - Set Free From Sin

¹⁵ What then? Shall we commit an act of sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not. ¹⁶ Do you not know that when you surrender yourselves as slaves to any one to obey him, you are his slaves whom you obey; whether it be sin, whose end is death, or obedience, whose end is righteousness? ¹⁷ But God be thanked that you who were once the slaves of sin have obeyed from your hearts that type of teaching to which you were appointed; ¹⁸ and being set free from sin, you became the slaves of righteousness??19 I speak in these homely figures because of the weakness of your fleshly nature??ust as you once surrendered your faculties into slavery to impurity and to all lawlessness, so now you must surrender your faculties into slavery to righteousness, unto deeds of holiness. ²⁰ For when you were the slaves of sin, you were under no subjection to righteousness. ²¹ What harvest-fruit then had you at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. ²² But now that you have been set free from sin and become slaves of God, the harvest-fruit which you are reaping tends to produce holiness, and it ends is life eternal. ²³ FOR THE POOR WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, BUT THE FREE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS, OUR MASTER.
