Romans 6:18-22

English Standard Version

¹⁸ and, ^(A)having been set free from sin, ^(B)have become slaves of righteousness. ^19 (C)I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For ^(D)just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members ^(E)as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

^20 (F)For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. ^21 (G)But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things ^(H)of which you are now ashamed? ^(I)For the end of those things is death. ²² But now that you ^(J)have been set free from sin and ^(K)have become slaves of God, ^(L)the fruit you get leads to sanctification and ^(M)its end, eternal life.
