18 and after being (A)freed from sin, you became slaves to righteousness. 19 (B)I am speaking [a]in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just (C)as you presented [b]the parts of your body as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, [c]resulting in further lawlessness, so now present [d]your body’s parts as slaves to righteousness, [e]resulting in sanctification.

20 For (D)when you were slaves of sin, you were free in relation to righteousness.
