Romans 6:17-23 (CJB)

By God’s grace, you, who were once slaves to sin (with out Torah), obeyed from your heart the pattern of teaching to which you were exposed; and after you had been set free from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness. (I am using popular language because your human nature is so weak.) For just as you used to offer your various parts as slaves to impurity and lawlessness (sin), which led to more lawlessness; so now offer your various parts as slaves to righteousness, which leads to being made holy, set apart for Yehovah God. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in relationship to righteousness;  but what benefit did you derive from the things of which you are now ashamed? The end result of those things was death. However, now, freed from sin and enslaved to God, you do get the benefit — it consists in being made holy, set apart for God, and its end result is eternal life. For what one earns from sin is death; but eternal life is what one receives as a free gift from God, in union with the Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ), our Lord.
