Romans 6:17-20
Christian Standard Bible
17 But thank God that, although you used to be slaves of sin,(A) you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching to which you were handed[a] over,(B) 18 and having been set free from sin,(C) you became enslaved to righteousness. 19 I am using a human analogy(D) because of the weakness of your flesh.[b] For just as you offered the parts of yourselves as slaves to impurity, and to greater and greater lawlessness, so now offer them as slaves to righteousness, which results in sanctification. 20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with regard to righteousness.[c](E)

Romans 6:17-20
New International Version
17 But thanks be to God(A) that, though you used to be slaves to sin,(B) you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching(C) that has now claimed your allegiance. 18 You have been set free from sin(D) and have become slaves to righteousness.(E)
19 I am using an example from everyday life(F) because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness(G) leading to holiness. 20 When you were slaves to sin,(H) you were free from the control of righteousness.(I)
