Romans 6:4

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

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Romans 6:1-23

The Gospel According to Paul (Continued) Rom 6:8 This weary but necessary "if" meets us once more. "If we be dead with Christ' but is any man dead with the Saviour? Perhaps not. He is not dead because he has retired from the world. Monasticism is not self-extinction. But does any man wish to die with the Saviour? That is enough, in the meantime. Not "if we be dead" we are all dead in trespasses and sins; that is not the death referred to; the qualifying words are "with Christ." Were we... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Romans 6:1-11

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? (2) God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? (3) Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? (4) Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. (5) For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Romans 6:3-10

3-10 Baptism teaches the necessity of dying to sin, and being as it were buried from all ungodly and unholy pursuits, and of rising to walk with God in newness of life. Unholy professors may have had the outward sign of a death unto sin, and a new birth unto righteousness, but they never passed from the family of Satan to that of God. The corrupt nature, called the old man, because derived from our first father Adam, is crucified with Christ, in every true believer, by the grace derived from... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Romans 6:1-99

Romans 6 THAT WHICH WE have thus far learned of the Gospel from this epistle has been a question of what God has declared Himself to be on our behalf, that which He has wrought for us by the death and resurrection of Christ, and which we receive in simple faith. In it all God has been having, if we may so say, His say toward us in blessing. Chapter 6 opens with the pertinent question, “What shall we say then?” This signalizes the fact that another line of thought is now about to open... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 6:3-11

The power of Baptism: v. 3. Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? v. 4. Therefore we are buried with Him by Baptism into death, that, like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. v. 5. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection; v. 6. knowing this, that our old man is crucified... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Romans 6:1-11

Second Section.—The contradiction between sin and grace. The calling of Christians to newness of life, since they were translated by baptism into the death of Christ from the sphere of sin and death into the sphere of the new life.Romans 6:1-111What shall we say then? Shall [May]1 we continue in sin, that grace may 2abound? God forbid[Let it not be!].2 How shall we, that are dead [who died]3to sin, live any longer therein?

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 6:1-11

“Dead unto Sin, but Alive unto God” Romans 6:1-11 It is not sufficient merely to apprehend, however clearly, our standing in Christ; we must see to it that the doctrine issues in a holy life. Nothing is more hurtful than to hold a truth intellectually, without giving it expression in character. Many who fight for the minute points of doctrinal accuracy are careless of the great demands of Christ for a life of godlike love. Therefore, after the Apostle’s massive statements of doctrine, he... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Romans 6:1-23

The apostle declared, "We died to sin," that is, we were set free from our relationship to sin. On that basis he asked his question, How can we live in that to which we have died? Taking baptism as an illustration, he showed that it is the sign of death and resurrection. Therefore the injunction, "Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus." The whole new man is to be yielded to God, and his members are to become instruments of righteousness unto... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Romans 6:1-23

Shall We Continue in Sin? Romans 6:1-23 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Grace never gives a margin to sin. There are some who go so far as to use "salvation by Grace" as an excuse for laxity in their morals; they vainly imagine that the saved may live as they list. The great question that confronts us today is asked in the opening verse of our Scripture lesson (Romans 6:1 ): "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that Grace may abound?" Romans 5:1-21 has demonstrated the power of... read more
