# Do you not know that if you present yourselves as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey?

Paul uses a question to scold anyone who may think God's grace is a reason to keep sinning. You can translate this as a strong statement. Alternate translation: "You should know that if you present yourselves as slaves to anyone, you are slaves to whomever you obey!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])

# which leads to death ... which leads to righteousness

"which results in death ... which results in righteousness"
