Romans 6:19-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
19 I am speaking in human terms because of your limitations.[a] For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness, leading to even more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, leading to sanctification.(A)
20 When you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.(B) 21 So what fruit did you then gain from the things of which you now are ashamed? The end of those things is death.(C)

Jonah 2:2-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
2 saying,
“I called to the Lord out of my distress,
and he answered me;
out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
and you heard my voice.
3 You cast me into the deep,
into the heart of the seas,
and the flood surrounded me;
all your waves and your billows
passed over me.(A)
4 Then I said, ‘I am driven away
from your sight;
how[a] shall I look again
upon your holy temple?’(B)
5 The waters closed in over me;
the deep surrounded me;
weeds were wrapped around my head(C)
6 at the roots of the mountains.
I went down to the land
whose bars closed upon me forever;
yet you brought up my life from the Pit,
O Lord my God.(D)
7 As my life was ebbing away,
I remembered the Lord,
and my prayer came to you,
into your holy temple.(E)
8 Those who worship vain idols
forsake their true loyalty.(F)
