Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 6:2

God forbid - By no means. Greek, It may not be; Note, Romans 3:4. The expression is a strong denial of what is implied in the objection in Romans 6:1.How shall we? ... - This contains a reason of the implied statement of the apostle, that we should not continue in sin. The reason is drawn from the fact that we are dead in fact to sin. It is impossible for these who are dead to act as if they were alive. It is just as absurd to suppose that a Christian should desire to live in sin as that a dead... 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 6:2

God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?It was pointed out by the apostle in previous portions of the letter that the basis of man's justification is that of his being "in Christ," dead to self, and possessor of a new identity, that of Christ himself, being one with him. It was absolutely unthinkable that such a person could think of continuing the old sinful ways.We who died to sin ... Whatever can that mean? Clearly; it cannot mean that temptation to sin has... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Romans 6:2-3

Romans 6:2-3. How shall we, that are dead, &c.— The objection which carnal minds are naturally apt to make against justification by God's free grace, through the infinite merit of Christ, is not to be answered by allowing that our own righteousness is to be joined in part with his to justify us; for, on that supposition, there would be no room for the objection, and the assertion would be contrary to the whole analogy of faith. But it is to be answered by shewing, as the Apostle does, the... read more

2. God forbid—"That be far from us"; the instincts of the new creature revolting at the thought. How shall we, that are dead, &c.—literally, and more forcibly, "We who died to sin (as presently to be explained), how shall we live any longer therein?" 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 6:2

This is definitely not a proper conclusion (cf. Romans 3:8). It is illogical that those who have died in relation to sin should continue to live in sin. Paul personified sin and described it as have a ruling power or realm. We died to sin when we experienced conversion."How despicable it would be for a son or a daughter to consider himself or herself free to sin, because he or she knew that a father or a mother would forgive." [Note: Barclay, p. 86.] Note that Paul did not say that it is... read more

John Dummelow

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
