Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 6:1

What shall we say then? - This is a mode of presenting an objection. The objection refers to what the apostle had said in Romans 5:20. What shall we say to such a sentiment as that where sin abounded grace did much more abound?Shall we continue in sin? ... - If sin has been the occasion of grace and favor, ought we not to continue in it, and commit as much as possible, in order that grace might abound? This objection the apostle proceeds to answer. He shows that the consequence does not follow;... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Romans 6:1-2

Romans 6:1-2. What shall we say then What shall we think of this doctrine? namely, taught in the latter part of the preceding chapter, that where sin abounded grace did much more abound? Does it not follow from thence that we may continue in sin, that grace may abound still more, and may appear more glorious in pardoning and saving us? The apostle here sets himself more fully to vindicate his doctrine from this consequence, suggested Romans 3:7-8. He had then only, in strong terms, denied... 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 6:1

At this point in Romans, it is customary for commentators to interrupt their exegesis and build a wall of separation between this chapter and the fifth, Moule, for example, expending some 200 lines of text for that purpose. Other devices of separation have also been employed as, for example, when that same author declared that:We shall now think less directly of the foundations than of the superstructure, for which the foundation was laid.[1]From all of the explaining, and readjusting, and... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Romans 6:1

Romans 6:1.— The Apostle having now proved, by three distinct arguments, that both Gentiles and Jews can be pardoned, and made partakers of the privileges and blessings of the kingdom of God under the Messiah, no otherwise than by the grace of God, through faith alone; he next proceeds, in proper order, to shew the obligations that both Gentiles and Jews were under to a life of holiness in this their new state, and the means and advantages which they enjoyed for that purpose. This he does, not... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Romans 6:1

1. What, c.—The subject of this third division of our Epistle announces itself at once in the opening question, "Shall we (or, as the true reading is, "May we," "Are we to") continue in sin, that grace may abound?" Had the apostle's doctrine been that salvation depends in any degree upon our good works, no such objection to it could have been made. Against the doctrine of a purely gratuitous justification, the objection is plausible nor has there ever been an age in which it has not been urged.... read more

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

One writer counted 74 rhetorical questions in Roman. [Note: B. Kaye, The Argument of Romans with Special Reference to Chapter 6, p. 14.] This chapter begins with one of them. Paul had just said that grace super-abounded where sin increased (Romans 5:20). Perhaps then believers should not worry about practicing sin since it results in the manifestation of more of God’s grace and His greater glory. One expression of this view is Voltaire’s famous statement, "God will forgive; that is his... 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

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 6:1-23

The New Righteousness in Union with ChristSt. Paul’s begins by repeating an objection he must often have heard from Jewish adversaries (cp: Romans 3:8), and suggested here by Romans 5:20 -’Does not this teaching of pardon by God’s free favour practically encourage sin?’ The objection is stated in two forms (Romans 6:1, Romans 6:15). The Apostle not only answers his opponents: he is still more concerned to build up his readers in a holy life. He opposes to the objection the fact of the... read more
