SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:22
Mas ahora, librados del pecado, y hechos siervos a Dios, tenis por vuestro fruto la santificacin, y como fin la vida eterna.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Romans 6:22
Verse 22. But now being made free from sin] As being free from righteousness is the finished character of a sinner, so being made free from sin is the finished character of a genuine Christian. And become servants to God] They were transferred from the service of one master to that of another: they were freed from the slavery of sin, and engaged in the service of God.
Fruit unto holiness] Holiness of heart was the principle; and righteousness of life the fruit.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 22. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God , etc..] In what sense regenerate persons are free from sin, and are become the servants of God, has been observed already; the consequence of which is, that such have their fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life : holiness is a fruit of freedom from the bondage of sin, and of serving God; holiness begun in regeneration, calling, and conversion, is a fruit of the Spirit; a course of living righteously is a fruit of holiness, as a principle implanted; a gradual increase in holiness is carried on by the Spirit of God in a course of righteousness; and a course of righteousness, from a principle of grace, issues in perfect holiness; without which no man shall see the Lord (( Hebrews 12:14)): here it seems to design, that holiness is fruit, or that which is gain and profit to persons, in opposition to sin, in which there is no profit: it is not indeed profitable to God in point of merit; yet holiness, as a principle of grace, is profitable to the saints in point of meetness for glory; and holiness, as it denotes an external course of life, is useful and profitable on many accounts; hereby God is glorified, the doctrine of Christ is adorned, religion is honoured and recommended, our own credit, reputation, and peace, are preserved, and our neighbour's good promoted. And the end is everlasting life : as sin issues, if grace prevent not, in everlasting death; holiness issues in eternal life, not by way of merit, but of free gift.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 21-23 - The pleasure and profit of sin do not deserve to be called fruit Sinners are but ploughing iniquity, sowing vanity, and reaping the same. Shame came into the world with sin, and is still the certai effect of it. The end of sin is death. Though the way may seem pleasan and inviting, yet it will be bitterness in the latter end. From thi condemnation the believer is set at liberty, when made free from sin If the fruit is unto holiness, if there is an active principle of tru and growing grace, the end will be everlasting life; a very happy end Though the way is up-hill, though it is narrow, thorny, and beset, ye everlasting life at the end of it is sure. The gift of God is eterna life. And this gift is through Jesus Christ our Lord. Christ purchase it, prepared it, prepares us for it, preserves us to it; he is the All in all in our salvation __________________________________________________________________

Robertson's NT Word Studies
6:22 {Ye have your fruit unto sanctification} (ecete ton karpon humwn eis hagiasmon). Freedom from Sin and slavery to God bring permanent fruit that leads to sanctification. {And the end eternal life} (to de telos zwen aiwnion). Note accusative case zwen aiwnion, object of ecete (ye have), though qanatos in contrast above is nominative.
