Likewise--even as your Lord Himself.
reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed--"dead on the one hand"
unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord--(The words, "our Lord," at the close of this verse, are wanting in the best manuscripts.)
Note, (1) "Antinomianism is not only an error; it is a falsehood and a slander" [HODGE]. That "we should continue in sin that grace may abound," not only is never the deliberate sentiment of any real believer in the doctrine of Grace, but is abhorrent to every Christian mind, as a monstrous abuse of the most glorious of all truths (Rom 6:1). (2) As the death of Christ is not only the expiation of guilt, but the death of sin itself in all who are vitally united to Him; so the resurrection of Christ is the resurrection of believers, not only to acceptance with God, but to newness of life (Rom 6:2-11). (3) In the light of these two truths, let all who name the name of Christ "examine themselves whether they be in the faith." |

| Reckon ye also yourselves to be dead - Die as truly unto sin, as he died for sin. Live as truly unto God, as he lives with God. This seems to be the spirit of the apostle's meaning. |
2 God forbid [3361] [1096]. How [4459] shall we, that [3748] are dead [599] to sin [266], live [2198] any longer [2089] therein [1722] [846]?
3 [2228] Know ye not [50], that so [3754] many of us [3745] as were baptized [907] into [1519] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] were baptized [907] into [1519] his [846] death [2288]?
4 Therefore [3767] we are buried with [4916] him [846] by [1223] baptism [908] into [1519] death [2288]: that [2443] like as [5618] Christ [5547] was raised up [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498] by [1223] the glory [1391] of the Father [3962], even so [3779] we [2249] also [2532] should walk [4043] in [1722] newness [2538] of life [2222].
5 For [1063] if [1487] we have been [1096] planted together [4854] in the likeness [3667] of his [846] death [2288], we shall be [2071] also [235] [2532] in the likeness of his resurrection [386]:
6 Knowing [1097] this [5124], that [3754] our [2257] old [3820] man [444] is crucified with [4957] him, that [2443] the body [4983] of sin [266] might be destroyed [2673], that henceforth [3371] we [2248] should [1398] not [3371] serve [1398] sin [266].
7 For [1063] he that is dead [599] is freed [1344] from [575] sin [266].
8 Now [1161] if [1487] we be dead [599] with [4862] Christ [5547], we believe [4100] that [3754] we shall [4800] also [2532] live [4800] with him [846]:
9 Knowing [1492] that [3754] Christ [5547] being raised [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498] dieth [599] no more [3765]; death [2288] hath [2961] no more [3765] dominion over [2961] him [846].
10 For [3739] [1063] in that he died [599], he died [599] unto sin [266] once [2178]: but [1161] in that [3739] he liveth [2198], he liveth [2198] unto God [2316].
11 Likewise [3779] reckon [3049] ye [5210] also [2532] yourselves [1438] to be [1511] dead [3498] indeed [3303] unto sin [266], but [1161] alive [2198] unto God [2316] through [1722] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Lord [2962].
1 What [5101] shall we say [2046] then [3767]? Shall we continue [1961] in sin [266], that [2443] grace [5485] may abound [4121]?
