17 But God be thanked, that ye were the seruautes of sinne: but ye haue obeyed with heart the fourme of doctrine, into the which ye were brought vnto. 18 Being then made free fro sinne, ye are become ye seruauntes of ryghteousnesse. 19 I speake after the maner of men, because of the infirmitie of your fleshe. As ye haue geuen your members seruauntes to vncleannesse and iniquitie, vnto iniquitie: euen so nowe geue your members seruauntes to righteousnesse, vnto holynesse. 20 For when ye were the seruauntes of sinne, ye were free from ryghteousnesse. 21 What fruite had ye then in those thynges, wherof ye are nowe ashamed? For the ende of those thynges, is death. 22 But nowe ye beyng made free from sinne, and made the seruauntes of God, haue your fruite vnto holynesse, and the ende euerlastyng lyfe. 23 For the rewarde of sinne is death: but the gyft of God is eternall lyfe, thorowe Iesus Christe our Lorde.
