Jeremiah 28:5-9

5 Then the prophet Jeremiah replied to the prophet Hananiah before the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the Lord. 6 He said, “Amen! May the Lord do so! May the Lord fulfill the words you have prophesied by bringing the articles of the Lord’s house and all the exiles back to this place from Babylon.(A) 7 Nevertheless, listen to what I have to say in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people: 8 From early times the prophets who preceded you and me have prophesied war, disaster and plague(B) against many countries and great kingdoms. 9 But the prophet who prophesies peace will be recognized as one truly sent by the Lord only if his prediction comes true.(C)”

Romans 6:12-23

12 Therefore do not let sin reign(A) in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. 13 Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness,(B) but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.(C) 14 For sin shall no longer be your master,(D) because you are not under the law,(E) but under grace.(F)

Slaves to Righteousness

15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace?(G) By no means! 16 Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey(H)—whether you are slaves to sin,(I) which leads to death,(J) or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God(K) that, though you used to be slaves to sin,(L) you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching(M) that has now claimed your allegiance. 18 You have been set free from sin(N) and have become slaves to righteousness.(O)

19 I am using an example from everyday life(P) because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness(Q) leading to holiness. 20 When you were slaves to sin,(R) you were free from the control of righteousness.(S) 21 What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!(T) 22 But now that you have been set free from sin(U) and have become slaves of God,(V) the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.(W) 23 For the wages of sin is death,(X) but the gift of God is eternal life(Y) in[a] Christ Jesus our Lord.
