15What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! 16Do
you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient
slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either to sin, which
leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17But
thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become
obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were
committed, 18and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. 19I
am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For
just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to
lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as
slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.
20For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of these things is death. 22But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. 23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
