8 “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. 9 If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. 10 But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests. 11 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”(A)

19 I am using an example from everyday life(A) because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness(B) leading to holiness. 20 When you were slaves to sin,(C) you were free from the control of righteousness.(D) 21 What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!(E) 22 But now that you have been set free from sin(F) and have become slaves of God,(G) the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.(H) 23 For the wages of sin is death,(I) but the gift of God is eternal life(J) in[a] Christ Jesus our Lord.
