Romans 6:11

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. LIKEWISE RECKON YE ALSO YOURSELVES (EVEN AS YOUR LORD) TO BE DEAD INDEED, [ men (G3303)] - not 'dead in very deed,' or 'truly' [ aleethoos (G230)], as the English reader is apt to suppose, but 'dead on the one hand;' though the particle scarcely admits of being weakly enough rendered in English. UNTO SIN, BUT ALIVE UNTO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. The true reading appears to be, 'in Christ Jesus,' omitting the words "our Lord." [So A B D E F G, some cursives, and a majority of the versions, including the Vulgate; and so Lachmann, Tischendorf, and Tregelles The Received Text is supported by C K L ('Aleph (') has...

11._So count ye also yourselves_, _etc. _Now is added a definition of that analogy to which I have referred. For having stated that Christ once died to sin and lives for ever to God, he now, applying both to us, reminds us how we now die while living, that is, when we renounce sin. But he omits not the other part, that is, how we are to live after having by faith received the grace of Christ: for though the mortifying of the flesh is only begun in us, yet the life of sin is destroyed, so that afterwards spiritual newness, which is divine, continues perpetually. For except Christ were to slay sin in us at once to the end, his grace would by no means be sure and durable. The meaning, then, of the words may be thus expressed, “Take this view of your case, — that as Christ once died for the purpose of destroying sin, so you have once died, that in future you may cease from sin; yea, you must...

11-15 The strongest motives against sin, and to enforce holiness, are here stated. Being made free from the reign of sin, alive unto God, and having the prospect of eternal life, it becomes believers to be greatly concerned to advance thereto. But, as unholy lusts are not quite rooted out in this life, it must be the care of the Christian to resist their motions, earnestly striving, that, through Divine grace, they may not prevail in this mortal state. Let the thought that this state will soon be at an end, encourage the true Christian, as to the motions of lusts, which so often perplex and distress him. Let us present all our powers to God, as weapons or tools ready for the warfare, and work of righteousness, in his service. There is strength in the covenant of grace for us. Sin shall not have dominion. God's promises to us are more powerful and effectual for mortifying sin, than our p...

Verse Romans 6:11. _RECKON YE ALSO YOURSELVES TO BE DEAD_] Die as truly _unto_ sin, as he died _for_ sin. Live as truly _unto_ God, as he lives _with_ God. This seems to be the spirit of the apostle's meaning....

This passage is a confirmation and illustration of what the apostle had said before, Romans 6:5. The argument is, that as Christ was once dead but now lives to God, and will no more die, so we, being dead to sin, but living unto God, should not obey sin, but should live only to God. Romans 6:8 NOW IF WE BE DEAD WITH CHRIST - If we be dead in a manner similar to what he was; if we are made dead to sin by his work, as he was dead in the grave; see the note at Romans 6:4. WE BELIEVE - All Christians. It is an article of our faith. This does not refer to the future world so much as to the present. It becomes an article of our

LIKEWISE RECKON YE ALSO YOURSELVES,.... Two things the apostle would have believers consider of themselves, and reckon themselves, to be, in consequence of their relation to Christ, who was dead, but is alive, and as agreeable thereunto: the one is, that they would look upon themselves TO BE DEAD INDEED UNTO SIN: believe their discharge from it, and not fear condemnation and death on account of it; and that it shall not be imputed to them, or have any damning power over them, since Christ has died unto it, or for it; and therefore should have no fellowship with it, nothing to do with it, as being dead unto it, and that to them: the other is, that they would consider themselves ALIVE UNTO GOD, THROUGH, JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD; and that either in a legal sense, as justified persons; men in a state of nature, or of "Pharisaism", think themselves alive, when they are not; but when they come...

Paul finishes the last chapter by saying, «That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.» «What shall we say, then?» What inference shall we draw from the super-abounding of grace over sin? Romans 6:1. _What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?_ «Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?» That were very horrible inference. It is one great instance of the shocking depravity of man that the inference has been drawn sometimes, I hope not often, for surely Satan himself might scarcely draw an inference of licentiousness from love. Still, some have drawn it. Romans 6:2. _God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?_ Now, he

CHAPTER 6 _ 1. Dead with Christ to Sin. (Romans 6:1 .)_ 2. Risen with Christ and Alive to God. (Romans 6:8 .) 3. Sin shall Not Have Dominion. (Romans 6:12 .) 4. Servants to Righteousness. (Romans 6:15 .) Romans 6:1 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 creation the old things have passed away, behold a
