Romans

Romans 6:21–23

²¹What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things is death. ²²But 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. ²³For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
