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

But if the Spirit of him ... - The Holy Spirit, Romans 8:9.He that raised up Christ ... - He that had power to restore him to life, has power to give life to you. He that did, in fact, restore him to life, will also restore you. The argument here seems to be founded, first, on the power of God; and, secondly, on the connection between Christ and his people; compare John 14:19, “Because I live, ye shall live also.”Shall also quicken - Shall make alive.Your mortal bodies - That this does not... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Romans 8:10-11

Romans 8:10-11. And if Christ be in you Namely, by his Spirit dwelling in you: where the Spirit of Christ is, there is Christ: the body is dead Το μεν σωμα νεκρον , the body indeed is dead, devoted to death; for our belonging to Christ, or having Christ in us, does not exempt the body from undergoing the sentence of death passed on all mankind; because of sin Heretofore committed; especially the sin of Adam, by which death entered into the world, and the sinful nature derived from... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Romans 8:1-17

Victory through the Spirit (8:1-17)The reason believers can have victory through Christ is that the power of the indwelling Spirit of Christ is greater than the power of the old sinful nature. The downward pull of the sinful nature may be likened to the downward pull of the earth’s gravity. A stone thrown into the air will fall to the ground, because it has no life or power to overcome the force of gravity. A bird thrown into the air will fly away, because it has a living power that enables it... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Romans 8:11

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you.In the preceding verse, Paul mentioned the body's being sentenced to death, due to that portion of the primeval sentence being still operative, even upon Christians; but even the death of the body is at last to be nullified by the salvation that is in Christ Jesus. Such a nullification will... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Romans 8:10-11

Romans 8:10-11. And if Christ be in you— And if Christ, &c.—with respect to sin,—with respect to righteousness. In these verses the Apostle describes the happy advantages of those who embrace the faith of the Gospel, and live according to it. The phrase δι αμαρτιαν may be properly rendered in respect of, or with reference to sin. This determines what sort of death he is speaking of, namely, a moral death; as if he had said, "The body, or the members thereof, are mortified, as the power of... read more
