¹⁶ Do you not ^(A)know that the one to whom you present yourselves as ^(B)slaves for obedience, you are slaves of that same one whom you obey, either of ^(C)sin ^[a]resulting in death, or of obedience ^[b]resulting in righteousness?

³⁴ Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly I say to you, ^(A)everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.

⁴⁴ Now he who was betraying Him had given them a signal, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the one; arrest Him and lead Him away ^[a]under guard.” ⁴⁵ And after coming, Judas immediately went to Him and *said, “^(A)Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

²² But now having been ^(A)freed from sin and ^(B)enslaved to God, you ^[a]derive your ^[b](C)benefit, ^[c]resulting in sanctification, and ^(D)the outcome, eternal life.
