You have been set free from sin
By the only one who saves
Therefore you are new creatures
And to righteousness you have become slaves
I am using an example from daily life
Because of your human limitations
Just as you were slaves to impurity
And to wicked inclinations
Now offer yourselves as slaves
To a righteous and holy way
When you were slaves to sin
Righteousness could not hold sway
What benefit did you reap at that time
From the things of which you are now ashamed?
Those things result in death!
But now God’s freedom you have claimed.
The benefit you reap leads to holiness
And eternal life is your reward
For the wages of sin is death
But God’s gift is eternal life in Jesus, our Lord
