¹⁷ But ^(A)thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the ^(B)standard of teaching to which you were committed, ¹⁸ and, ^(C)having been set free from sin, ^(D)have become slaves of righteousness. ^19 (E)I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For ^(F)just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members ^(G)as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.
