Romans 6:15-19

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁵ What then? ^(A)Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? ^(B)May it never be! ¹⁶ Do you not ^(C)know that when you present yourselves to someone as ^(D)slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of ^(E)sin ^[a]resulting in death, or of obedience ^[b]resulting in righteousness? ¹⁷ But ^(F)thanks be to God that ^[c]though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that ^(G)form of teaching to which you were committed, ¹⁸ and having been ^(H)freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. ^19 (I)I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just ^(J)as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, ^[d]resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, ^[e]resulting in sanctification.
