Romans 6:10 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Romans 6:10

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.

14 For ^asin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

From Slaves of Sin to Slaves of God

15 What then? Shall we sin ^abecause we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!

16 Do you not know that ^ato whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?

Romans 6:9-11

Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him—Though Christ's death was in the most absolute sense a voluntary act (John 10:17-18; Acts 2:24), that voluntary surrender gave death such rightful "dominion over Him" as dissolved its dominion over us. But this once past, "death hath," even in that sense, "dominion over Him no more."
