Romans 6:10
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. And so do we; we have died unto sin once, but now that we live, we live unto God.

Romans 6:11
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves,.... Two things the apostle would have believers consider of themselves, and reckon themselves, to be, in consequence of their relation to Christ, who was dead, but is alive, and as agreeable thereunto: the one is, that they would look upon themselves to be dead indeed unto sin: believe their discharge from it,...
Romans 6:11-13
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. It is in the body that it tries to reign. These poor things, these mortal frames of ours, have so many passions, so many desires, so many...
Romans 6:12
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body,.... Since grace reigns in you, sin should not: seeing ye are dead to sin, are baptized into the death of Christ, and are dead with him, and alive through him, sin therefore should not reign in you, and over you. This exhortation does not suppose a freewill power in man naturally, for this is spoken...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. Your legs used to carry you to the theatre; compel...
Romans 6:13
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
Neither yield ye your members,.... The apostle more fully explains what he means by obeying sin in the lusts thereof; a presenting, or making use of the "members, as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin": by their "members" he means the several powers and faculties of the soul, and so the Ethiopic version renders it, "your souls"; or the...
Romans 6:13
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. We do not, I think, make enough of the passive part of our religion We are often for doing, and quite right, too, and the more active we can be the...
Romans 6:13
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. “Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin” — neither eyes, nor ears, nor hands, nor feet, neither suffer any of...
Romans 6:14
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
For sin shall not have dominion over you,.... It has dominion over God's people in a state of unregeneracy: and after conversion it is still in them, and has great power oftentimes to hinder that which is good, and to effect that which is evil; it entices and ensnares, and brings into captivity, and seems as though it would regain its dominion,...
Romans 6:14
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For sin shall not have domination over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. The reigning, ruling principle now, is not “You must, you shall,” for reward, or under fear of punishment, but God has loved you, and now you love him in return and what you do springs from no mercenary or self-serving motive. You are not under law, but...
Romans 6:14
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. While you were under the law, and simply heard it command you to do your duty, the command seemed to awaken all the hostility of your nature so that you remained under the dominion of sin, but now no longer does the law speak to you as it did aforetime. You...
Romans 6:14-15
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? This is another of the Antinomian suggestions that were made in the apostle’s time, and that are still made now; and how does Paul answer it? Why, with this solemn adjuration: —
Romans 6:14
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. When you were under the law, sin did get dominion over you; that law which was ordained to life, worked towards death. The evil concupiscence of your nature revolted against the command, and led you astray. But now, beloved, it is of love and grace, and now...
Romans 6:15
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
What then? shall we sin,.... Does it follow from hence, that therefore we may sin, and go on and continue in it, because we are not under the law, but under grace? here the apostle meets with an objection of the adversary, saying, that if men are not under the law, and are free from all obligation to it, then they may live as they list; nor can...
Romans 6:15
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? Oh! this old question keeps coming up. Somebody wants to sin. Well, if he wants to sin, why does not he leave this business alone and go and sin? What has he to do with these theological questions at all? But still, he wants, if he can, to make a coverlet for his...
Romans 6:15-16
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? If you are doing the deeds of sin, you are the servants of sin and only as you are doing the will of God can you claim to be the servant of God. “Hereby we know that we know...
Romans 6:15
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Again the apostle is shocked at such a suggestion. There are some who have denied that the law was binding upon them in any sense, and who have therefore claimed liberty to sin, but they can find no footing anywhere within the saved enclosure of God’s Word.
Romans 6:15-18
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey: whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye...
Romans 6:15
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
What then? shall we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. That must not be. Again the evil spirit crops up, trying to turn the grace of God into licentiousness, and to make us feel free to sin because of God’s love — that must not be.
