The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 6:1-11

Justification securing sanctification. St. Paul has been speaking in the previous paragraph of "grace abounding," and a very natural insinuation might be made that continuance, permanent abiding, in sin would be the condition of the most abounding grace. If, therefore, our pardon and acceptance are secured through Christ's obedience unto death, what motive can the justified have in warring with sin? Why not sin up to our bent, that grace may abound? It is this immoral insinuation that the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 6:1-14

The practical power of the Resurrection. Here the apostle enlarges still more fully upon the truth that the Christian's faith leads not merely to the pardon of sin, but also to deliverance from its power. Because grace has abounded over sin, and our unrighteousness has commended the righteousness of God, it does not therefore follow that we are to continue in sin. If we have a real union with Christ, we have been baptized into his death. We are buried with him by baptism into death; "that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 6:6-7

Knowing this (cf. ἢ ἀγνοεῖτε , Romans 6:3 ), that our old man was (not is, as in the Authorized Version) crucified with him that the body of sin might be destroyed (or abolished, or done away, καταργήθῃ ) , that henceforth we should not serve ( δουλεύειν , expressing bondage, or slavery; and so throughout the chapter in the word δοῦλοι , translated "servants") sin. For he that hath died is freed from sin . The word "crucified" has, of course,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 6:8

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him ; i.e. as explained with regard to the future ἐσόμεθα under Romans 6:5 . The explanation there given accounts for the phrase here, πιστεύομεν ὅτι , without its being necessary to refer our living with Christ exclusively to the future resurrection. For the continuance of God's vivifying grace during life after baptism is a subject of belief. read more

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

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 6:5-7

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

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
