19 (A)I am speaking [a]in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just (B)as you presented [b]the parts of your body as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, [c]resulting in further lawlessness, so now present [d]your body’s parts as slaves to righteousness, [e]resulting in sanctification.

20 For (C)when you were slaves of sin, you were free in relation to righteousness. 21 Therefore what [f](D)benefit were you then [g]deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is (E)death.
