Romans 6:19 in Context — Romans 6

17 Mais grâces soient rendues à Dieu de ce que, après avoir été esclaves du péché, vous avez obéi de cœur à la règle de doctrine dans laquelle vous avez été instruits.

18 Ayant été affranchis du péché, vous êtes devenus esclaves de la justice.

19 Je parle à la manière des hommes, à cause de la faiblesse de votre chair. De même donc que vous avez livré vos membres comme esclaves à l’impureté et à l’iniquité, pour arriver à l’iniquité, ainsi maintenant livrez vos membres comme esclaves à la justice, pour arriver à la sainteté.

20 Car, lorsque vous étiez esclaves du péché, vous étiez libres à l’égard de la justice.

21 Quels fruits portiez-vous alors? Des fruits dont vous rougissez aujourd’hui. Car la fin de ces choses, c’est la mort.
