romans 6:22 But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life.

< Romans 6:21
Romans 6:23 >

      22. But now--as if to get away from such a subject were unspeakable relief.
      being made free from Sin, and become servants to God--in the absolute sense intended throughout all this passage.
      ye have--not "ought to have," but "do have," in point of fact.
      your fruit unto holiness--"sanctification," as in Ro 6:19; meaning that permanently holy state and character which is built up out of the whole "fruits of righteousness," which believers successively bring forth. They "have their fruit" unto this, that is, all going towards this blessed result.
      and the end everlasting life--as the final state of the justified believer; the beatific experience not only of complete exemption from the fall with all its effects, but of the perfect life of acceptance with God, and conformity to His likeness, of unveiled access to Him, and ineffable fellowship with Him through all duration.

JFB.
