Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 6:1-23

Salvation To The Uttermost (5:1-8:39). The depths of our sin having been revealed in Romans 1:17 to Romans 3:23, and Jesus Christ’s activity, (His activity in bringing about our salvation through the cross by means of the reckoning to us of His righteousness by faith), having been made known in Romans 3:24 to Romans 4:25, Paul now sets about demonstrating the consequences of this for all true believers (Romans 5:1 to Romans 8:39). He wants us immediately to recognise that being ‘accounted as... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 6:5

‘For if we have been conjoined with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also (in the likeness) of his resurrection,’ In Romans 6:4 our entering into Christ’s death resulted in the fact that ‘like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.’ This verse continues that thought and associates ‘walking in newness of life’ with being partakers in Christ’s resurrection. The use of the particular verb, which means being... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 6:1-11

Romans 6:1-1 Kings : . Union with the Dying, Risen Christ. Romans 6:1 . The reference of Romans 5:20 to “ the law” gives the legalist critic his opportunity to challenge Paul’ s whole doctrine on its practical outcome; in his view, it is rank Antinomiansm: “ Are we to persist in sin, that grace may abound?” If to “ multiply sin” multiplies grace— then sin away! Romans 6:2-Numbers : . The suggestion revolts the Christian consciousness; the mocking query is countered: “ We who died to sin, how... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 6:5

He prosecutes what he had before propounded, and illustrates it by an apt similitude, which is taken from grafting or planting. He takes it for granted, that believers are planted together in the likeness of Christ’s death, i.e. are made conformable to him in his death: see Philippians 3:10. Christ died, and believers die; the one a natural, the other a spiritual death: the one by way of expiation, suffering, and satisfying for the sins of others; the other by way of mortification, killing and... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Romans 6:1-11

CRITICAL NOTESRomans 6:2.—Necessary connection between faith in Christ’s death and abhorrence of sin. Heathen writers speak of the wise and good as dead to sensualities and animal pleasures (Wordsworth).Romans 6:3. Baptised into His death.—In relation to His death—i.e., faith in it, acceptation, appropriation, and imitation of it. The relation symbolised by baptism is in its own nature moral and spiritual.Romans 6:4.—Baptism by immersion—and where that cannot be conveniently done, by... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 6:1-5

Romans 6:1-5 Free Grace and Sin. In this passage, under cover of a reply to a plausible objection to the doctrine of justification, we really enter upon the discussion of the bearing of gospel faith on moral character. I. To the objection, the plausible but hateful objection, "What then? Are we to persist in our sin just in order that (as you say) the grace of God may abound in its forgiveness?" St. Paul's reply is a very blunt and staggering one. It amounts to this: such an abuse of free grace... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 6:4-8

Romans 6:4-8 Christ's Resurrection an Image of our New Life. Our new life is like that of our risen Saviour I. In the manner of His resurrection. In order to appear to His disciples in that glorified form, which already bore in it the indications of the eternal and immortal glory, it was necessary that the Saviour should pass through the pains of death. It was not an easy transformation; it was necessary for Him, though not to see corruption, yet to have the shadow of death pass over Him; and... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 6:5-6

Romans 6:5-6 Assimilation through Faith. I. Among the elements of human character we have really no deeper or more powerful agent for working a great change than faith, if we understand it fairly. The word covers the most entire devotion of heart and will which a man can repose in any person whom he justly regards as wiser, nobler, stronger, and more trustworthy than himself. It means, if you will, what among men is called hero-worship; and there is no force known to the student of human nature... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Romans 6:1-23

Chapter 6What shall we say then? ( Romans 6:1 )If where sin abounds, grace does much more abound,Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? ( Romans 6:1 )No. Let's let God reveal how much grace there is by continuing in sin. Paul's answer is typical:God forbid ( Romans 6:2 ).Now he gives to you the new principal of life.How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? ( Romans 6:2 )I have received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. In receiving Jesus Christ as my Lord and... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 6:1-23

Romans 6:1 . Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? The apostle having said, that as sin had abounded by the entrance of the law, so grace had much more abounded by the proclamation of the gospel, proceeds now to rebut the malicious slander of the jews, who had said, as in chap. Romans 3:8, that the christian doctrine encouraged men to do evil that good might come, presuming that God conferred righteousness without renovation of heart. He refutes this calumny, by pressing on... read more
