Romans 6:19

Romans 6:19. speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness unto sanctification.

'I speak after the manner of men' -'I use an everyday illustration because human nature grasps truth more readily that way' (Phi).

'Infirmity of your flesh' -'weakness of your flesh' (NASV). Why does he keep on illustrating? Why is another illustration from the slave/master relationship given? 'Because some folks find it difficult to follow. discourse without clear illustration of the principles involved. This is an "infirmity" of the flesh. We need to keep this in mind in our teaching, don't we!'

'Iniquity unto iniquity' -'wickedness, which leads to further wickedness' (TCNT). YOU CANNOT SIN YOUR WAY OUT OF SIN! Some are under the mistaken impression, that if they can just get their 'fill' of sin, 'sow enough wild oats', that sin will no longer appeal to them. 'I'll serve God when I've had my fill, when I'm done having fun' is the excuse offered by some.

'Even so now' -as you freely entered into sin, by your own choice, so freely make the choice to serve God! MAN COMES OUT OF SIN, JUST LIKE HE ENTERED IT-I.E. BY. FREEWILL CHOICE!
