Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Romans 6:1-23

Chapter 6What shall we say then? ( Romans 6:1 )If where sin abounds, grace does much more abound,Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? ( Romans 6:1 )No. Let's let God reveal how much grace there is by continuing in sin. Paul's answer is typical:God forbid ( Romans 6:2 ).Now he gives to you the new principal of life.How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? ( Romans 6:2 )I have received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. In receiving Jesus Christ as my Lord and... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 6:1-23

Romans 6:1 . Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? The apostle having said, that as sin had abounded by the entrance of the law, so grace had much more abounded by the proclamation of the gospel, proceeds now to rebut the malicious slander of the jews, who had said, as in chap.

He refutes this calumny, by pressing on... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Romans 6:23

Romans 6:23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life. The wages of sin and the gift of GodI. The wages of sin is death. “Wages” here means “the rations” supplied as pay to a soldier. If sin is your commander, you will have “death” to eat as your pay. “Sin” is treated as a person, even as “God” is, and the more we treat it as a living enemy, the more we are likely to fight against it manfully. “Death” may be defined as separation. Spiritual death is a present separation... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Romans 6:23

23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Ver. 23. For the wages of sin ] The best largesse or congiary ( οψωνιον ) that sin gives to his soldiers is death of all sorts. This is the just hire of the least sin. a The Jesuits would persuade us, that some sins against which the law thundereth and lighteneth, are so light in their own nature, Ut factores nec sordidos, nec malos, nec impios, nec Deo exosos reddere possint.

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.Death — Temporal, spiritual, and eternal.Is the due wages of sin; but eternal life is the gift of God — The difference is remarkable. Evil works merit the reward they receive: good works do not. The former demand wages: the latter accept a free gift. read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 6:23

23. Wages of sin The hire which the master Sin pays to his servants is death. And this death, the antithesis of eternal life, and measured in duration by it, is eternal death, death that knows no resurrection. The reverse, eternal life, the result of the service of Jesus Christ our Lord, is not a wages, but a free and bounteous gift. Sin well earns its reward, and so its reward is wages; but our service does not earn heaven so that heaven is a gratuity. read more
