Discovery BoxRomans 6:19-20 
Context6:19 (I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.) 1 For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification. 6:20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with regard to righteousness.
Romans 6:22
Context6:22 But now, freed 2 from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit 3 leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life.
1 tn Or “because of your natural limitations” (NRSV).
sn Verse 19 forms something of a parenthetical comment in Paul’s argument.
2 tn The two aorist participles translated “freed” and “enslaved” are causal in force; their full force is something like “But now, since you have become freed from sin and since you have become enslaved to God….”
3 tn Grk “fruit.”
