¹⁶ Do you not know that ^(A)to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?

¹⁹ I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness ^[a]for holiness.

^17 (A)All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.

²² that you ^(A)put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,

²⁴ and that you ^(A)put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

⁵ For ^[a]this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any ^(A)inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. ⁶ Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

⁵ For we through the Spirit eagerly ^(A)wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
