The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 6:3-4

The significance of baptism. To suppose that the acceptance of the grace of God in Christ renders us careless about the further committal of sin is to misapprehend the nature of redemption. We cannot dissociate the external results of Christ's work from a consideration of its inward effects upon the mind and heart of the man who profits by it. For a practical refutation of the supposition, the apostle points to the acknowledged meaning of the ceremony wherein each believer indicates his... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 6:3

Know ye not - This is a further appeal to the Christian profession, and the principles involved in it, in answer to the objection. The simple argument in this verse and the two following is, that by our very profession made in baptism, we have renounced sin, and have pledged ourselves to live to God.So many of us ... - All who were baptized; that is, all professed Christians. As this renunciation of sin had been thus made by all who professed religion, so the objection could not have reference... read more

Romans 6:3-4. Know ye not Can any of you be ignorant of this great and obvious truth, that so many of us as were baptized into Christ That is, into the profession of the Christian faith; or implanted into and made a part of the mystical body of Christ by baptism, (as εις Χριστον seems to imply,) were baptized into his death Engaged by baptism to be conformed to his death, by dying to sin, as he died for it, and crucifying our flesh with its affections and lusts, as his body was... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Romans 6:1-23

6:1-8:39 THE WAY OF HOLINESS (SANCTIFICATION)Having spoken about justification by faith (how believers can be put right with God), Paul goes on to speak about sanctification by faith (how believers can live lives of practical holiness). In some of the other New Testament writings, ‘sanctify’ means ‘declare holy’, in much the same way as ‘justify’ means ‘declare righteous’. (‘Sanctify’ and ‘holy’ are different parts of the same word in the original languages.) Sanctification, like justification,... read more

James Burton Coffman

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Romans 6:3

Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?This verse is proof that justification by faith, as possessed by those Christians to whom Paul addressed Romans, included baptism. Not a single one of them was ever justified without it; for Paul wrote, "ALL WE who were baptized." Paul's focal purpose in this paragraph was to stress the fact that Christians who were dead to sin should not continue to live wickedly; but the manner of their being dead... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Romans 6:2-3

Romans 6:2-3. How shall we, that are dead, &c.— The objection which carnal minds are naturally apt to make against justification by God's free grace, through the infinite merit of Christ, is not to be answered by allowing that our own righteousness is to be joined in part with his to justify us; for, on that supposition, there would be no room for the objection, and the assertion would be contrary to the whole analogy of faith. But it is to be answered by shewing, as the Apostle does, the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Romans 6:3

3. Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ—compare :-. were baptized into his death?—sealed with the seal of heaven, and as it were formally entered and articled, to all the benefits and all the obligations of Christian discipleship in general, and of His death in particular. And since He was "made sin" and "a curse for us" (2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 5:13), "bearing our sins in His own body on the tree," and "rising again for our justification" (Romans 4:25; 1... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 6:1-14

1. Freedom from sin 6:1-14Paul began his explanation of the believer’s relationship to sin by explaining the implications of our union with Christ (Romans 6:1-14). He had already spoken of this in Romans 5:12-21 regarding justification, but now he showed how that union affects our progressive sanctification."The focus of his discussion, particularly in chapter 6, is not on how to obey God and avoid sinning, but on why we should obey God." [Note: Robert A. Pyne, "Dependence and Duty: The... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 6:3-4

Our baptism into (with respect to) Jesus Christ resulted in our death to sin."It appears that Paul had both the literal and figurative in mind in this paragraph, for he used the readers’ experience of water baptism to remind them of their identification with Christ through the baptism of the Holy Spirit." [Note: Wiersbe, 1:531.] "Baptism . . . functions as shorthand for the conversion experience as a whole." [Note: Moo, p. 355.] Water baptism for the early Christians was an initiation into... read more
