Romans 6:1-14

Thirteenth Passage (6:1-14). Sanctification in Christ dead and risen.

The apostle introduces this subject by an objection which he makes to his own teaching, Romans 6:1; he gives it a summary answer, Romans 6:2, and justifies this answer by appealing to a known and tangible fact, namely baptism, Romans 6:3-4. Then he gives a complete and didactic exposition of the contents of his answer, Romans 6:5-11. Finally he applies it to the practical life of his readers, Romans 6:12-14.
