羅馬書 6:7 RCUVTS

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 6:7

For he that is dead - This is evidently an expression having a proverbial aspect, designed to illustrate the sentiment just expressed. The Rabbis had an expression similar to this, “When one is dead he is free from commands.” (Grotius.) So says Paul, when a man dies he is exempt from the power and dominion of his master, of him who reigned over him. The Christian had been subject to sin before his conversion. But he has now become dead to it. And as when a servant dies, he ceases to be subject... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Romans 6:5-7

Romans 6:5-7. For Surely these two must go together; so that if we have been united to Christ by faith, (to which baptism engages us,) and have been made conformable to his death, by being dead to sin, we shall also know the power of his resurrection, by rising to newness of life. Knowing this Not in theory merely, but by experience; that our old man Coeval with our being; our evil nature derived from Adam; the whole system of our former inclinations and dispositions. It is a strong and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Romans 6:1-23

6:1-8:39 THE WAY OF HOLINESS (SANCTIFICATION)Having spoken about justification by faith (how believers can be put right with God), Paul goes on to speak about sanctification by faith (how believers can live lives of practical holiness). In some of the other New Testament writings, ‘sanctify’ means ‘declare holy’, in much the same way as ‘justify’ means ‘declare righteous’. (‘Sanctify’ and ‘holy’ are different parts of the same word in the original languages.) Sanctification, like justification,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Romans 6:7

For he that hath died is justified from sin.Paul returned in this statement to the legal phase of justification "in Christ" (as fully discussed under preceding verses); but something new is added here. Justification, far from being accomplished by faith only, is also dependent upon the believer's death to sin, in the sense of being "in Christ."He that died ... is another way of saying, "He that believed on the Lord Jesus Christ and was baptized into Christ for the remission of his sins" is... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Romans 6:7

Romans 6:7. He that is dead is freed from sin— St. Peter seems to paraphrase this verse, 1 Peter 4:1. He that hath suffered in the flesh, hath ceased from sin; as if he had said, "The Christian who is so resolute, by the power of the Spirit of God, as to resist all temptation to sin, and chooses rather to suffer any temporal calamities than commit sin, or neglect his duty, is the only man who has done with sin;—who is effectually delivered from the power and condemnation of it." The Greek word... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Romans 6:7

7. For he that is dead—rather, "hath died." is freed—"hath been set free." from sin—literally, "justified," "acquitted," "got his discharge from sin." As death dissolves all claims, so the whole claim of sin, not only to "reign unto death," but to keep its victims in sinful bondage, has been discharged once for all, by the believer's penal death in the death of Christ; so that he is no longer a "debtor to the flesh to live after the flesh" (Romans 8:12). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 6:1-14

1. Freedom from sin 6:1-14Paul began his explanation of the believer’s relationship to sin by explaining the implications of our union with Christ (Romans 6:1-14). He had already spoken of this in Romans 5:12-21 regarding justification, but now he showed how that union affects our progressive sanctification."The focus of his discussion, particularly in chapter 6, is not on how to obey God and avoid sinning, but on why we should obey God." [Note: Robert A. Pyne, "Dependence and Duty: The... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 6:7

Death ends all claims. Paul illustrated his point in Romans 6:6 by referring to this general truth. Once a person has died he or she has no more earthly obligations. Because of our death with Christ we have no obligation to respond to the dictates of our sinful nature. We may choose to do so, but we do not have to do so, and we should not do so (cf. Ephesians 4:22-32).This verse does not mean that the power of sinful habits or the effects of sinful influences will cease to bother a person when... read more
