Romans 6:17-19

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁷ But thanks be to God that you who were slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which you were entrusted^{(A) 18} and that you, having been set free from sin, have become enslaved to righteousness.^{(B) 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.^(C)
