Romans 6:20
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness.
In context
18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.
20 For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness.
21 What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things is death.
22 But 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.
