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 6:11-13
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...

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
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
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
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.
Romans 6:16
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
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, then, a man lives a life of sin, he proves that he is the servant of sin, for he has obeyed its commands, and let that man know assuredly that he has nothing to do with Christ while...
Romans 6:16
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
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? It is a wonderful heart-searching text, is this: let us put ourselves under its power. Whatever you obey, that is your master: and if you obey the suggestions of sin, you are the slave...
Romans 6:17-18
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
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 became the servants of righteousness. “Bondservants,” you have got in our new translation, for so it was, and the apostle seems to excuse himself for using such a word by saying: —
Romans 6:17
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
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. Or, as the marginal reading renders it, in harmony with the original, “whereto ye were delivered,” for the doctrine was the mould, and ye were the metal, reduced to a molten condition, and then poured into the...
Romans 6:17
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
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. Or into which you were delivered. God has taken you, melted you down, and poured you into a new mold. God be thanked for flint; you are not what you used to be. Although you are not what you hope to be, yet you...
