Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 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. How powerfully this plea ought to tell...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. You did not care about righteousness then. When you served sin you felt it was utterly indifferent to you what the claims of righteousness might be.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. You had such pleasure as sin could give you, but was it worth having? You derived some profit, perhaps, from evil pursuits; but did the profit ever make up for the loss which you thereby sustained? O ye who have had experience of sin to the...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. While we were under the law, we could not come into the bonds of the new covenant, — the covenant of grace. But, through the death of Christ, we...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. Sin is the transgression of the law. Therefore, out of the law, by reason of our corruption, springs sin. And, in our past lives, we did indeed find sin to be very fruitful. It grew very fast in our members, and it...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. No longer is the message to us, “This do, and thou shalt live.” No more are we slaves under bondage; but we have come into a new state, we are free, rejoicing in the glorious liberty of the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, so far from being sin, the law is the great detective of sin, discovering it, and letting us know what sin really is.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. Or, “covetousness.” The very fact that God said to us, “Do it not,” wrought upon our nature so that we wanted to do it, and that which God...

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. There are some who hope to overcome their evil propensities by the law. They think that if they can know and feel the authority of the law of God, that will have an awe over their...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For without the law sin was dead. For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. “I did not know how sinful I was until God’s commandment came to me. Sin seemed to be dead within me, and I thought myself a righteous man; but when the law of God came home to my heart and conscience, and I understood...
