Romans 6:22

Read in context

Romans 6:20–23 · Berean Standard Bible

20 For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness.

21 What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things is death.

22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life.

23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
