Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
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).
