INTRODUCTION TO Romans 6 The Apostle having finished his design concerning the doctrine of justification, refutes the charge brought against it as a licentious doctrine, and prevents any ill use that might be made of it by men of evil minds, justified persons by the strongest arguments, and with the best of motives to holiness of life and conversation: he saw, that whereas he had affirmed in the...
John Gill
For he that is dead, is freed from sin. This is not to be understood of a natural or a corporeal death; for this is the effect of sin, and is inflicted by way of punishment for it, on Christless persons; so far is it from being an atonement for sin, as the Jews (t) fancy; besides, there are many persons, who as they die in their sins, they will rise in them; though a natural death is alluded to,...

Charles H. Spurgeon

Charles H. Spurgeon
For he that is dead is freed from sin. He can no longer live in it, for he is dead; and if we are really dead in Christ, we can no longer live in sin as we were wont to do.
Charles H. Spurgeon
For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: There was no getting free from the power of sin, except by dying to it; but, being dead to it, we are free from it; and, now being dead that way, we have entered into a new life that we might live as Christ lives.
