Romans 6:1

"Romans."

Key Reflection

In Romans 6:1-2, Paul explains that believers are no longer slaves to sin but have been freed through baptism into Christ's death and resurrection. This spiritual transformation signifies a new life in Christ, where the old self is crucified with Him, leading to freedom from the dominion of sin.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

ROMANS Chapter 6 Introduction THE argument commenced in this chapter is continued through the two following. The general design is the same--to show that the scheme of justification which God had adopted does not lead men to sin, but, on the contrary, to holiness. This is introduced by answering an objection, Ro 6:1. The apostle pursues this subject by various arguments and illustrations, all tending to show that the design and bearing of the scheme of justification was to produce the hatred of sin, and the love and practice of holiness.
