Romans 6:21 Context
19I speake after the maner of men, because of the infirmitie of your flesh: for as yee haue yeelded your members seruants to vncleannesse and to iniquitie, vnto iniquitie: euen so now yeelde your members seruants to righteousnesse, vnto holinesse. 20For when yee were the seruants of sinne ye were free from righteousnesse. 21What fruit had yee then in those things, whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. 22But now being made free from sinne, and become seruants to God, yee haue your fruit vnto holinesse, and the end euerlasting life. 23For the wages of sinne is death: but the gift of God is eternall life, through Iesus Christ our Lord.
