Romans 6:10 NIV

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 6:8-11

This passage is a confirmation and illustration of what the apostle had said before, Romans 6:5-7. The argument is, that as Christ was once dead but now lives to God, and will no more die, so we, being dead to sin, but living unto God, should not obey sin, but should live only to God.Romans 6:8Now if we be dead with Christ - If we be dead in a manner similar to what he was; if we are made dead to sin by his work, as he was dead in the grave; see the note at Romans 6:4.We believe - All... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Romans 6:8-11

Romans 6:8-11. Now if we be dead with Christ Conformed to his death by dying to sin; we believe that we shall also live with him We have reason sufficient to assure ourselves that we shall be conformed to him in life too, by living an uninterrupted life of grace here, and glory hereafter; and shall die no more, even as Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more, Romans 6:9. He died unto sin To atone for and to abolish it; but he liveth unto God A glorious eternal life, such as... 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 6:10

For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God.Christ's death unto sin was to pay the penalty due to sin, and the uniqueness of that event is expressed in the word "once," or "once for all," as it reads in the Greek (see English Revised Version (1885) margin). The Greek word is [@hapax]; and for other New Testament uses of this remarkable word, see under Hebrews 7:27 in this author's commentary on that book. The finality of Christ's sacrifice... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Romans 6:10

Romans 6:10. For in that he died, &c.— Dr. Doddridge translates and paraphrases the passage thus: "For whereas he died, he died once for all, as a sacrifice for sin, to atone the injured justice of God, and repair the honours of his violated law: and as he liveth he liveth to God for ever; his immortal life is entirely appropriated and devoted to his service; wherein we ought to make it our constant care to imitate his example." See chap. Romans 8:17. Galatians 2:20. 1 Peter 2:21; 1 Peter... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Romans 6:10

10. For in that he died, he died unto—that is, in obedience to the claims of sin once—for all. but in that he liveth, he liveth unto—in obedience to the claims of God. God—There never, indeed, was a time when Christ did not "live unto God." But in the days of His flesh He did so under the continual burden of sin "laid on Him" (Isaiah 53:6; 2 Corinthians 5:21); whereas, now that He has "put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself," He "liveth unto God," the acquitted and accepted Surety,... 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 6:10

Jesus Christ will never have to die again because when He died for sin He died to sin. This means that when He died His relationship to sin changed. It was never the same again. Sin now has no power over Him. After He paid for our sins, He was free to resume His intimate relationship with God forever."This stands in opposition to the doctrine and practice of the so-called perpetual sacrifice of Christ in the Roman Catholic Mass."
