bulletFrom Martin Luther's Bible Commentary (1545).
bulletFrom the Geneva Notes.
bullet"In that corruption, for though the guiltiness of sin, is not imputed to us, yet the corruption still remains in us: and this is killed little by little by the sanctification that follows justification."
bulletFrom Matthew Henry's Commentary.
bullet"...he shows that connexion between justification and holiness are inseparable."
bulletFrom Wesley's Notes.
bullet"Coeval with our being, and as old as the fall; our evil nature; a strong and beautiful expression for that entire depravity and corruption which by nature spreads itself over the whole man, leaving no part uninfected."
bulletFrom the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
bullet"Whoso, then, has been baptized into Christ's death has formally surrendered the whole state and life of sin, as in Christ a dead thing."
bullet"Baptism -- A Burial: Romans 6:3-4," Charles H. Spurgeon, 1881.
bullet"The believer, if spiritually buried with Christ, is dead to the desire of any such power. "What!" say you, "do not godly men have sinful desires?" Alas, they do. The old nature that is in them lusteth towards sin; but the true man, the real ego, desires to be purged of every speck or trace of evil."
bulletFrom The People's New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
bullet"The fact that every follower of Christ has died to sin is shown by his baptism. All its symbolism points to death."
bulletContemporary Commentary, Studies and Exegesis:
bullet Commentary, Romans 6:1b-11, David Bartlett, Preaching This Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2008.

bullet "Dying to Live," Bill O'Brien, The Christian Century, 2005.
bullet"Lesslie Newbigin once said that if you do not see the kingdom it’s because you are facing the wrong direction."
bullet "Buried and Raised with Christ," Rev. Bryan Findlayson, Lectionary Bible Studies and Sermons, Pumpkin Cottage Ministry Resources.
bullet"Why isn't 'lead us not into temptation' a prayer to take away temptation and therefore promote a sinless life?"
bullet "Letting Go Down Here," William Willimon, The Christian Century, 1986. At Religion Online.
bullet"When he spoke of what happened to him on the Damascus Road, Paul never knew whether to call it being born or being killed. In a way, it felt like both at the same time. Whatever it was, it had something to do with letting go."
bullet"An End to the Reign of Death (Romans 6:1-14)," by Robert Deffinbaugh at the Biblical Studies Foundation.
bullet"There is a corollary to the principle that grace always outruns and exceeds sin, and it is this: Sin always seeks to use that which is good to promote evil."
bulletEnvironmental Reflections (Rev John Gibbs), from the Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota's Environmental Stewardship Commission.
bullet"To be resurrected is to be brought into a whole new "world" of interrelations."
