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

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 6:1-39

St. Paul has finished his exposition of Justification (Romans 3:19 to Romans 5:21), and now passes to Sanctification. In other words, having shown how the believer is delivered from the guilt of sin, he goes on to show how he is delivered from its power.Romans 6 shows the Christian abiding in living union with the risen Christ by the power of faith. Romans 7 describes the failure of the most earnest life apart from Christ. Romans 8 shows Christ abiding in the Christian by the power of the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Romans 6:6-11

(6-11) Further description of this process. The Christian’s union with the crucified Christ binds him also to crucify or mortify (ascetically) the sinful desires of his body. Thus he is released from the dominion of those desires. But this is not all. Just as Christ passed from the cross to the resurrection, and overcame death once for all, exchanging for it a life wholly dependent upon God; so, too, His followers must consider themselves cut off irrevocably—as if by death itself—from sin, and... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Romans 6:7

(7) Is freed.—“Absolved,” the same word that is used elsewhere for “justified.” The dead man is no longer liable to have the charge of sin brought against him. This is the general proposition, the major premise, adduced in proof of what had gone before, viz., the particular proposition that he who is ethically dead is no longer the slave of sin. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Romans 6:1-23

No Compromise Romans 6:2 I. What did the Apostle mean by the Words Dead unto Sin? (1) He meant death of the Judicial Penalty of Sin beyond the power of sin to inflict its penalty upon us. The judicial idea runs through the whole Epistle. A criminal who has served his term of imprisonment for an offence against the law, at the expiration of his sentence is dead to that particular crime. The penalty will not be exacted of him twice over. Even so the Christian, who implicitly accepts Christ's... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Romans 6:1-13

Chapter 14JUSTIFICATION AND HOLINESSRomans 6:1-13IN a certain sense, St. Paul has done now with the exposition of Justification. He has brought us on, from his denunciation of human sin, and his detection of the futility of mere privilege, to propitiation, to faith, to acceptance, to love, to joy, and hope, and finally to our mysterious but real connection in all this blessing with Him who won our peace. From this point onwards we shall find many mentions of our acceptance, and of its Cause; we... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Romans 6:1-23

CHAPTER 6 1. Dead with Christ to Sin. (Romans 6:1-7 .) 2. Risen with Christ and Alive to God. (Romans 6:8-11 .) 3. Sin shall Not Have Dominion. (Romans 6:12-14 .) 4. Servants to Righteousness. (Romans 6:15-23 .) Romans 6:1-7 We have learned from the previous chapter that the justified believer is in Christ and fully identified with Him. God sees the believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, no longer in Adam, but in Christ, the head of a new creation. “So if any one be in Christ, it is a new... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 6:1-23

A Change of Masters With the headship of Christ established for the believer - a headship which has to do with new life in contrast to the old life inherited from Adam, and grace reigning where sin had reigned, grace abundantly above the enormity of the sin - there is a question that some would be much inclined to raise. The apostle anticipates and answers this in lovely, incontestable style. "What shall we say then?" What conclusion can be deduced from the plain truth of grace abounding over... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Romans 6:1-23

HUMANITY AND TWO ADAMS “Wherefore” leads back to chapter 3, where the apostle is referring to the sinful condition of all men. It was by one man that sin entered the world bringing physical death as a penalty, and that all have sinned is proven by the fact that all have paid that penalty (Romans 5:12 ). To be sure the law was not given to Moses till Sinai, but as “death reigned from Adam to Moses,” it is evident that there was a transgression of another law than that written on stone, for... read more
