Romans 6:20 in Context — Romans 6
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.
22 Mais maintenant, étant affranchis du péché et devenus esclaves de Dieu, vous avez pour fruit la sainteté et pour fin la vie éternelle.
