12. 12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires.

14. 14For sin will not have dominion over you, because you are not under the law but under grace.
15. 15What then? Should we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? Absolutely not!
16. 16Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient servants, you are slaves of the one you obey — whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?

18. 18And having been set free from sin, you became servants of righteousness.
19. 19I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you once offered the parts of your body as slaves to impurity and to wickedness leading to more wickedness, so now offer the parts of your body as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.
20. 20For when you were slaves of sin, you were free from righteousness.
21. 21What fruit did you have then from the things you are now ashamed of? For the end of those things is death.
22. 22But now, having been set free from sin and having become servants of God, you have your fruit leading to holiness, and the end is eternal life.
23. 23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
