    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 7, 2025
     | 557 views

    Chapter 6 ends the contrasts we had been looking at. We must not use our bodies for impurity but slaves for the Lord in righteousness. Paul ends with being freed from sin with sanctification leading to eternal life. BUT for the unsaved he states the wages of sin is death. A rich chapter indeed.
