For just as you presented the parts of your bodies as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness for lawlessness, so now present them as slaves to righteousness for sanctification. ^20 (A)For when you were slaves of sin, you were free from righteousness.^{[a] 21} But what profit did you get then from the things of which you are now ashamed?
