Romans 6:6 - Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)

Romans 6:6

4 Therefore we were ^aburied with Him through baptism into death, that ^bjust as Christ was raised from the dead by ^cthe glory of the Father, ^deven so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 ^aFor if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,

6 knowing this, that ^aour old man was crucified with Him, that ^bthe body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.

7 For ^ahe who has died has been freed from sin.

8 Now ^aif we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

9 knowing that ^aChrist, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.

10 For the death that He died, ^aHe died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, ^bHe lives to God.

11 Likewise you also,¹ reckon yourselves to be ^adead indeed to sin, but ^balive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

12 ^aTherefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

13 And do not present your ^amembers as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but ^bpresent yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

Romans 6:6

Our old man (o palaiov hmwn anqrwpov). Only in Paul (here, Colossians 3:9; Ephesians 4:22).

Was crucified with him (sunestaurwqh). See on Galatians 2:19 for this boldly picturesque word. This took place not at baptism, but only pictured there. It took place when "we died to sin" (verse Romans 6:1).

The body of sin (to swma thv amartiav). "The body of which sin has taken possession" (Sanday and Headlam), the body marked by sin.

That so we should no longer be in bondage to sin (tou mhketi douleuein hmav th amartiai). Purpose clause with tou and the present active infinitive of douleuw, continue serving sin (as slaves). Adds "slavery" to living in sin (verse Romans 6:2).
