17and thanks to God, that ye were servants of the sin, and -- were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which ye were delivered up;
18and having been freed from the sin, ye became servants to the righteousness.
19In the manner of men I speak, because of the weakness of your flesh, for even as ye did present your members servants to the uncleanness and to the lawlessness -- to the lawlessness, so now present your members servants to the righteousness -- to sanctification,
20for when ye were servants of the sin, ye were free from the righteousness,
21what fruit, therefore, were ye having then, in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those [is] death.
22And now, having been freed from the sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit -- to sanctification, and the end life age-during;
23for the wages of the sin [is] death, and the gift of God [is] life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord.
