Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Romans 6:18-23

Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. (19) I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. (20) For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. (21) What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Romans 6:23

REFLECTIONS Reader! let us both learn from this most blessed Chapter, how to answer the character, of every description, who ventures, from the pride or corruption of his heart, to charge the doctrine of free grace with a tendency to an unholy life. Never, surely, were the motives to an upright and conscientious conversation ever found in the least powerful or persuasive in the soul, until brought home to the soul, in the death of Christ. And the child of God, who is dead with Christ, baptized... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Romans 6:23

For the wages, which the tyrant sin gives to his soldiers and slaves, is eternal death; but the wages, the pay, the reward, which God gives to those that fight under him, is everlasting life; which, though a reward of our past labours, as it is often called in the Scriptures, is still a grace, [3] or free gift; because if our works are good, or deserve a reward in heaven, it is God's grace that makes them deserve it. For, as St. Augustine says, when God crowns our works, he crowns his own... read more

马太.亨利

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Romans 6:21-23

21-23 The pleasure and profit of sin do not deserve to be called fruit. Sinners are but ploughing iniquity, sowing vanity, and reaping the same. Shame came into the world with sin, and is still the certain effect of it. The end of sin is death. Though the way may seem pleasant and inviting, yet it will be bitterness in the latter end. From this condemnation the believer is set at liberty, when made free from sin. If the fruit is unto holiness, if there is an active principle of true and growing... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Romans 6:1-99

Romans 6 THAT WHICH WE have thus far learned of the Gospel from this epistle has been a question of what God has declared Himself to be on our behalf, that which He has wrought for us by the death and resurrection of Christ, and which we receive in simple faith. In it all God has been having, if we may so say, His say toward us in blessing. Chapter 6 opens with the pertinent question, “What shall we say then?” This signalizes the fact that another line of thought is now about to open... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 6:19-23

I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh; for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. v. 20. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. v. 21. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. v. 22. ... read more

Johann Peter Lange

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Romans 6:12-23

Third Section.—The principial freedom of Christians from the service of sin to death, and their actual departure there from and entrance into the service of righteousness unto life by the power of the death of Jesus. (Believers should live in the consciousness that they are dead to sin, just as even the slave is freed by death.)Romans 6:12-2312Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in13[omit it in]28 the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye [Nor render]29 your... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 6:12-23

“Sin Shall not Have Dominion” Romans 6:12-23 Standing with Christ on the resurrection side of death, we must present our whole being to God for His use. We have left forever behind, nailed to the Cross, the body of sin, Colossians 2:14 , and henceforth must see to it that every faculty shall become a weapon in God’s great warfare against evil. Let your powers be monopolized by God, so that there shall be no room left for the devil, Ephesians 4:27 . All serve some higher power, but which?... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Romans 6:1-23

The apostle declared, "We died to sin," that is, we were set free from our relationship to sin. On that basis he asked his question, How can we live in that to which we have died? Taking baptism as an illustration, he showed that it is the sign of death and resurrection. Therefore the injunction, "Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus." The whole new man is to be yielded to God, and his members are to become instruments of righteousness unto... read more

Robert Neighbour

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Romans 6:1-23

Shall We Continue in Sin? Romans 6:1-23 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Grace never gives a margin to sin. There are some who go so far as to use "salvation by Grace" as an excuse for laxity in their morals; they vainly imagine that the saved may live as they list. The great question that confronts us today is asked in the opening verse of our Scripture lesson (Romans 6:1 ): "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that Grace may abound?" Romans 5:1-21 has demonstrated the power of... read more
