- "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."
- From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
- "...he shows that connexion between justification and holiness are inseparable."
- From
Wesley's Notes.
- "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."
- From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
- "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."
- "Baptism
-- A Burial: Romans 6:3-4," Charles H. Spurgeon, 1881.
- "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."
- From The People's
New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
- "The fact that every follower of Christ has died to sin is shown by his baptism. All its symbolism points to death."
