Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Romans 6:6-7

_ _ Knowing this, etc. — The apostle now grows more definite and vivid in expressing the sin-destroying efficacy of our union with the crucified Savior.

_ _ that our old man — “our old selves”; that is, “all that we were in our old unregenerate condition, before union with Christ” (compare Colossians 3:9, Colossians 3:10; Ephesians 4:22-24; Galatians 2:20; Galatians 5:24; Galatians 6:14).

_ _ is — rather, “was.”

_ _ crucified with him — in order.

_ _ that the body of sin — not a figure for “the mass of sin”; nor the “material body,” considered as the seat of sin, which it is not; but (as we judge) for “sin as it dwells in us in our present embodied state, under the law of the fall.”

_ _ might be destroyed — (in Christ’s death) — to the end.

_ _ that henceforth we should not serve sin — “be in bondage to sin.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Romans 6:1-23.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Romans 6:6

Our old man — 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. This in a believer is crucified with Christ, mortified, gradually killed, by virtue of our union with him. That the body of sin — All evil tempers, words, and actions, which are the "members" of the "old man," Colossians 3:5, might be destroyed.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Romans 6:6

Knowing this, that our (h) old man is crucified with (i) [him], that the (k) body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not (l) serve sin.

(h) Our entire nature, as we are conceived and born into this world with sin, is called "old", partly by comparing that old Adam with Christ, and partly also in respect of the deformed state of our corrupt nature, which we change with a new.

(i) Our corrupt nature is regarded as belonging to Christ, not because of what he has done, but by imputation.

(k) That wickedness which remains in us.

(l) The end of sanctification which we aim at, and will at length come to, that is, when God will be all in all.
