Romanos 6:20 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 6:20

For when ye were the servants of sin
This is an argument used, or a reason given, why regenerate persons should be diligent in the service of righteousness; because when they were employed in the drudgery of sin, they

were free from righteousness;
they had no righteousness, nor were they desirous of any; yea, averse to it, threw off the yoke of the law of righteousness, and lived in a very unrighteous manner: hence may be observed what is the free will of man in an unregenerate state; not free to, but "from" righteousness; free enough to evil, but from all that is good; and also what obligation lies upon believers, who are delivered from the bondage of corruption, and the servitude of sin, to a life and service of righteousness; inasmuch as they were before free from it, and unconcerned about it, but are now made by the grace of God free to it, they ought therefore cheerfully to pursue it, and neglect no opportunity of performing it.

Romanos 6:20 In-Context

18 e libertos do pecado, fostes feitos servos da justiça.
19 Falo como homem, por causa da fraqueza da vossa carne. Pois assim como apresentastes os vossos membros como servos da impureza e da iniqüidade para iniqüidade, assim apresentai agora os vossos membros como servos da justiça para santificação.
20 Porque, quando éreis servos do pecado, estáveis livres em relação � justiça.
21 E que fruto tínheis então das coisas de que agora vos envergonhais? pois o fim delas é a morte.
22 Mas agora, libertos do pecado, e feitos servos de Deus, tendes o vosso fruto para santificação, e por fim a vida eterna.
