Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Romans 6:6-7.


Romans 6:7

_ _ For he that is dead — rather, “hath died.”

_ _ is freed — “hath been set free.”

_ _ from sin — literally, “justified,” “acquitted,” “got his discharge from sin.” As death dissolves all claims, so the whole claim of sin, not only to “reign unto death,” but to keep its victims in sinful bondage, has been discharged once for all, by the believer’s penal death in the death of Christ; so that he is no longer a “debtor to the flesh to live after the flesh” (Romans 8:12).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Romans 6:1-23.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Romans 6:7

For he that is dead — With Christ. Is freed from the guilt of past, and from the power of present, sin, as dead men from the commands of their former masters.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Romans 6:7

(5) For he that is dead is freed from sin.

(5) He proves it by the effects of death, comparing Christ the head with his members.
