20 For (A)when you were slaves of sin, you were free in relation to righteousness. 21 Therefore what [a](B)benefit were you then [b]deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is (C)death. 22 But now having been (D)freed from sin and (E)enslaved to God, you [c]derive your [d](F)benefit, [e]resulting in sanctification, and (G)the outcome, eternal life.
