The passage in its setting

Meeting God in a verse begins with hearing it where it lives, in the flow of Romans 6. Read it slowly, and let the focal verse settle into its own context.

20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
