The Wages of Sin
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that [when] you offer yourselves [as] obedient slaves, you are slaves to [the one] you obey, whether [you are slaves] to sin [leading] to death, or to obedience [leading] to righteousness? 17 But thanks [be] to God that, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were committed. 18 You have been set free from sin [and] have become slaves to righteousness.
19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your [body] in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer [them] in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.
20 For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness. 21 What fruit did you reap at that time from the [things] of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things [is] death. 22 But now [that] you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap [leads to] holiness, and the outcome [is] eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin [is] death, but the gift of God [is] eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
