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 Ahora son libres de la esclavitud del pecado y se han hecho esclavos de la vida recta.
19 Uso la ilustración de la esclavitud para ayudarlos a entender todo esto, porque la naturaleza humana de ustedes es débil. En el pasado, se dejaron esclavizar por la impureza y el desenfreno, lo cual los hundió aún más en el pecado. Ahora deben entregarse como esclavos a la vida recta para llegar a ser santos.
20 Cuando eran esclavos del pecado, estaban libres de la obligación de hacer lo correcto.
21 ¿Y cuál fue la consecuencia? Que ahora están avergonzados de las cosas que solían hacer, cosas que terminan en la condenación eterna;
22 pero ahora quedaron libres del poder del pecado y se han hecho esclavos de Dios. Ahora hacen las cosas que llevan a la santidad y que dan como resultado la vida eterna.
