Romans 6:16-22

16Do you not know that if you present yourselves oto anyone as obedient slaves,
For the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface (twice in this verse and verse 19; also once in verses 17, 20)
you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
17But qthanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the rstandard of teaching to which you were committed, 18and, shaving been set free from sin, thave become slaves of righteousness. 19 uI am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For vjust as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members was slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

20 xFor when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 yBut what fruit were you getting at that time from the things zof which you are now ashamed? aaFor the end of those things is death. 22But now that you abhave been set free from sin and achave become slaves of God, adthe fruit you get leads to sanctification and aeits end, eternal life.

Romans 8:5-8

5For afthose who live according to the flesh set their minds on agthe things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on ahthe things of the Spirit. 6For to set aithe mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7For the mind that is set on the flesh is ajhostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; akindeed, it cannot. 8Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
