In context

19I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.

21What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things is death.
