Romans 6:18-23
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
18 Being then freed from sin, we have been made servants of justice.
19 I speak an human thing, because of the infirmity of your flesh. For as you have yielded your members to serve uncleanness and iniquity, unto iniquity; so now yield your members to serve justice, unto sanctification.
20 For when you were the servants of sin, you were free men to justice.
21 What fruit therefore had you then in those things, of which you are now ashamed? For the end of them is death.
22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end life everlasting.
23 For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God, life everlasting, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 6:18-23
New International Version
18 You have been set free from sin(A) and have become slaves to righteousness.(B)
19 I am using an example from everyday life(C) because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness(D) leading to holiness. 20 When you were slaves to sin,(E) you were free from the control of righteousness.(F) 21 What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!(G) 22 But now that you have been set free from sin(H) and have become slaves of God,(I) the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.(J) 23 For the wages of sin is death,(K) but the gift of God is eternal life(L) in[a] Christ Jesus our Lord.
