Romans 6:19-23
19 I am speaking in the language of common life, because nature is still strong in you. Just as you once made over your natural powers as slaves to impurity and wickedness, till all was wickedness, you must now make over your natural powers as slaves to right-doing, till all is sanctified.
20 At the time when you were the slaves of sin, right-doing had no claim upon you.
21 And what harvest were you then reaping, from acts which now make you blush? Their reward is death.
22 Now that you are free from the claims of sin, and have become God’s slaves instead, you have a harvest in your sanctification, and your reward is eternal life.
23 Sin offers death, for wages; God offers us eternal life as a free gift, through Christ Jesus our Lord. (KNOX)
