If, say they, the riches of grace be thus manifested in the pardon of sin, let us then take the more liberty to sin, because grace so exceedingly abounds in the pardon of it. And we need not wonder that a Gentile, just emerging from the deepest darkness, might entertain such thoughts as these; when we find that eighteen centuries after this, persons have appeared in the most Christian countries of Europe, not merely asking such a question, but defending the doctrine with all their might; and asserting in the most unqualified manner, "that believers were under no obligation to keep the moral law of God; that Christ had kept it for them; that his keeping it was imputed to them; and that God, who had exacted it from Him, who was their surety and representative, would not exact it from them, forasmuch as it would be injustice to require two payments for one debt." What shall we say; in view of the foregoing truths, and especially the fact that where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. See also Romans 6:11, 12, and 14. They make the apostle’s words more general than he meant or intended them: for the abounding of sin is not the occasion of the abounding of grace in all, but only in some, even in those who confess and forsake their sins. Romans 6:1. i.e., be more conspicuously displayed. Except ye eat my flesh and drink my blood ye have no life in you (John 6:53,54).SIZE>. . Romans 6:1-13 Though justified by grace, we may not live in sin; since the very figure of baptism requireth us to die, with Christ unto sin, that we may lead a new life of, Romans 6:14-20 The dispensation of grace freeth us from the dominion, of sin; but we are still the servants of sin, if we, obey it; therefore being freed from sin, we are bound, Romans 6:21-23 The end and wages of sin is death; but the fruit of. It is no fair inference from the fact that God has brought so much good out of the fall and sinfulness of men, that they may continue in sin. Such being the case, he shows, Romans 6:8-11, that as Christ's death on account of sin was for once, never to be repeated, and his life, a life devoted to God; So our separation from sin is final, and our life a life consecrated to God. The abounding of sin in men before their conversion and calling, doth commend and exalt the abundant grace of God, in the forgiveness thereof; but not so if sin abound in them after they are converted and called. Никак Буквально «да не будет этого никогда!» В посланиях Павла это выражение встречается 14 раз (10 раз в Рим. Other devices of separation have also been employed as, for example, when that same author declared that: From all of the explaining, and readjusting, and hesitation that marks the works of people as they are about to engage upon an interpretation of this chapter, and from all of their efforts to disengage it from the preceding chapters, one is truly led into a state of wonderment about what so troubles the commentators at this point; but the mystery is not far to seek. Hell. This part of Romans deals with how to live the Christian life with sanctification. Romans 4:1. That of the Alex. Thus, Luther's definition of faith is untrue, being contradicted by none other than an apostle, who declared that certain Jewish rulers "believed on" the Lord Jesus Christ and were yet unsaved. Against the doctrine of a purely gratuitous justification, the objection is plausible; nor has there ever been an age in which it has not been urged. We see in his answer in the following verses, to the questions thus proposed, what an ample field it opened for demonstrating the beautiful harmony of the plan of salvation, and of proving how every part of it bears upon and supports the rest. it has not been explicitly in the argument at all. that is, shall we persist in a vicious way of living with this view, that the grace of God may be magnified hereby? “Then what shall we say?

But this saying referred solely to the part played by the law in the midst of the Jewish people, while the question here put is of universal application. (Read Romans 6:1,2) The apostle is very full in pressing the necessity of holiness. Biblical Commentary (Bible study) Romans 6:1-11 EXEGESIS: ROMANS 6:1-4. What! Romans Commentary, Romans 6:1-8:39. To be sure it was not, the objection is without any ground and foundation; sin is not "per se", the cause of the glorifying God's grace, but "per accidens": sin of itself is the cause of wrath, and not of grace; but God has been pleased to take an occasion of magnifying his grace, in the forgiveness of sin: for it is not by the commission of sin, but by the pardon of it, that the grace of God is glorified, or made to abound. "What shall we say then? He shows that the consequence does not follow; and proves that the doctrine of justification does not lead to it. Хотя на неудобные вопросы всегда следует отвечать, дабы учение христианское не казалось вовлеченным в таковой абсурд. Dead to sin, that is, by our baptismal engagement, vow, and obligation; every Christian, at his first entrance upon the profession of Christianity doth take upon himself a vow of solemn obligation to die to sin, and to live no longer therein. In Romans 6:2, he declares it to be unfounded, and exclaims at its absurdity. said holy Ezra, Ezra 9:13-14. Shall we continue in sin, [ epimenoumen (Greek #1961)]. and of the Greco-Lats., ἐπιμένωμεν, that we should continue! To live in it, does not mean to live under its guilt, but in its service and under its ruling power; and this is what the Apostle represents as a contrast to being dead to sin. - This is a mode of presenting an objection. What, etc. Hitherto he treated of the past and the present: now he proceeds to treat of the future; and the forms of expression are suited to those, which immediately precede, whilst he speaks respecting the ‘abounding’ of grace. This question is usually connected with the declaration,Romans 5:20 : "Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound." What shall we say then? (Witham). Hofmann takes it in the first of these two senses as a mutual exhortation, and with this view supplies a new: Shall we say? Vv. If that supposition of Luther's had been the truth, then his doctrine would have been true, and it may be presumed that the apostles would have pointed it out and used the same terminology Luther used. A man may as truly say, the sea burns, or fire cools, as that certainty of salvation breeds security and looseness. He had then only in strong terms denied and renounced it: here he removes the very foundation thereof. But Paul sees the possible perversion of this glorious grace.

The Doctrine of Justification by Christ, shewn to be a Doctrine of Godliness. The confutation which he gives of this bold and impudent assertion; How shall we that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? .

Some of Paul's hearers and readers had concluded that as long as a Christian had faith it made no difference at all what kind of life he lived, such a position arising from a misunderstanding of justification by faith, which they had understood to be "faith only," just as some still misunderstand it. The doctrine of justification by faith is scriptural; but the perversion of this to mean justification by faith ALONE is to be rejected. That such indeed was the ground of Luther's false conclusion appears in the following statement made by him: But faith is not the fulfilling of all the commandments; and there are scriptural examples of faith that was the fulfilling of none of the commandments. Shall we continue to live in sin, that grace may the more abound? When strictly compared with the facts of the religious consciousness, it must be admitted that all such terms as union, oneness, fellowship, identification, pass into the domain of metaphor. So better here, persist. The one might be described as the juridical, the other as the mystical, theory of salvation. Luther, however, made "alone" to apply less extensively, as follows: Martin Luther's statement clarifies the fact that the "ceremonies" of the Christian faith, such as baptism and the Lord's supper, were classified by him as being among the so-called "works" that have nothing to do with salvation. The form in which the objection to the apostle's doctrine is here presented, is evidently borrowed from the close of the preceding chapter. II, p. 69. (1-5) These considerations might seem to lead to an Antinomian conclusion. Throughout this chapter the Apostle proves, that they who imagine that gratuitous righteousness is given us by him, apart from newness of life, shamefully rend Christ asunder: nay, he goes further, and refers to this objection, — that there seems in this case to be an opportunity for the display of grace, if men continued fixed in sin. If it is truly by faith "alone" that people are saved, of course, morality, being something other than faith, is also unnecessary! 1 of 1.

Comp Romans 11:22 f.; Colossians 1:23; 1 Timothy 4:16; Acts 13:43; Xen. — The subject of this third division of our Epistle announces itself at once in the opening question, “Shall we (or, as the true reading is, “May we,” “Are we to”) continue in sin, that grace may abound?” Had the apostle‘s doctrine been that salvation depends in any degree upon our good works, no such objection to it could have been made. At this point in Romans, it is customary for commentators to interrupt their exegesis and build a wall of separation between this chapter and the fifth, Moule, for example, expending some 200 lines of text for that purpose. Bible Commentary for Romans 6:1. ‘Then,’ in view of chap. “Buried with him,” means buried like him, or in like manner; and so “crucified with him,” in Romans 6:6, is the same: συν prefixed to verbs, has clearly this meaning.

We should rather be inclined to hold that Paul was alluding to the saying,Romans 5:16.

The righteous God requires that representatives of his kingdom on earth BE righteous. "Faith only" as a basis of salvation is antinomianism; and a whole dictionary of sectarian movements followed in the wake of Luther's teaching, many of them denying basic morality. is freed — “hath been set free.”.

Faith in Christ, and especially in the death of Christ, is the instrument of justification. The apostle rejects such an inference with the greatest detestation and abhorrence, saying, God forbid, &c.. As if he had said, "Oh vile abuse of the most excellent thing in the world! The question is no longer, as in Romans 6:1, whether the justified believer will be able to continue the life of sin which he formerly led. Luther well knew that such ceremonies as baptism and the Lord's supper were connected in the word of God with salvation, as for example, when Jesus himself said that, He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. Commentary on Romans 6:1-14 For many of us, Romans 6 is scripture we have turned to as we have developed a theology of baptism, debated the merits of immersion versus sprinkling based on the imagery of burial and resurrection, and to whom it should be applied. And they apply that to the time to come which the apostle only uttered of the time past. The reply is forcible and summary. "(Vincent p. 65); "What inference then shall we draw, i.e. This, no doubt, is mystical language. Note any possible connection these verses have with Romans 6:1. Moreover, there is the glaring fact that the scriptures nowhere either affirm or even imply that faith includes the keeping of the commandments. This objection the apostle proceeds to answer. The General Bearing of Gratuitous Justification on a Holy Life (Romans 6:1-2). holiness through God’s grace is eternal life. See ch. (a) 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.

Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Romans 6:1-10 New International Version (NIV) Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ 6 What shall we say, then? Union with Christ, being the only source of holiness, cannot be the source of sin. Sin as either an internal mental state, or an external habit or course of action. A fact has taken place which renders this calculation absolutely impossible. What shall we say then? For the seal of holiness has already been impressed on their inner and outer life by the manner of their justification. Furthermore, if Paul had actually taught what some of the advocates of Luther's theory teach, their slanders would have been truth! The apostle suddenly spoke of that rite, not as something added, but as an ordinance that all Christians of that era honored, thus making it absolutely certain that justification by faith cannot mean justification without baptism. Romans 6:1-23. is it right to commit sin on such an account? What shall we say then? Should we continue in sin, that grace may abound?". The man, who has obtained grace, may turn himself hither or thither. What shall we say then? In Romans 6:1-14 we learned that we should not offer the parts of our bodies as instruments of unrighteousness because it is inconsistent with who we are now as those who have died to sin with Christ and resurrected to new life with him. Their allegations were not based upon anything that Paul taught, but upon a perverted view of it, a fact made clear in this chapter. Why in the world does our text begin with Romans 6:1b instead of Romans 6:1 in its entirety? So better here, persist. That it was brought against the apostles, we know from Romans 3:8; and we gather from Galatians 5:13; 1 Peter 2:16, and Jude 1:4, that some did give occasion to the charge; but that it was a total perversion of the doctrine of Grace the apostle here proceeds to show. Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? In the summer of 386, a young man wept in the backyard of a friend. The abounding of sin in men before their conversion and calling, doth commend and exalt the abundant grace of God, in the forgiveness thereof; but not so if sin abound in them after they are converted and called. God likes forgiving them. The apostle here prevents an objection, which might be occasioned, either by the foregoing doctrine in general, concerning justification by the free grace of God, and by a righteousness imputed to us; or by what he said more particularly in the close of the foregoing chapter, that where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. the similar phrase in chap. Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?’.

This, it will be observed, is a marked characteristic of our apostle's style in this Epistle-to mark sudden transitions to a new branch of his subject, as a mode of putting and answering questions, or a way of calling attention to some important statement (cf. Shall we continue in sin, &c., that is, will this doctrine of the free pardon of the sinner, lead men to continue unconcerned in sin, relying for impunity on the abundance of divine grace?

Some might hence infer, that there was no need then of inherent righteousness, that persons might abide and abound in sin, that so grace might be the more exalted in the forgiveness thereof. It was composed specifically for the Latin American church. In his sermon, “Why Christ Had To Die,” author and pastor Stuart Briscoe says: Many years ago when the children were small, we went for a little drive in the lovely English countryside, and there was some fresh snow. In Romans 6:1-11, the apostle shows how unfounded is the objection, that gratuitous justification leads to the indulgence of sin. This objection the apostle proceeds to answer. Ибо знаем мы: ни к чему так не склонна наша плоть, как к тому, чтобы потворствовать себе под любым предлогом. In that case he would have said directly: "Shall we then continue"...? What shall we say to such a sentiment as that where sin abounded grace did much more abound? We indeed know that nothing is more natural than that the flesh should indulge itself under any excuse, and also that Satan should invent all kinds of slander, in order to discredit the doctrine of grace; which to him is by no means difficult. Shall we continue in sin - It is very likely that these were the words of a believing Gentile, who - having as yet received but little instruction, for he is but just brought out of his heathen state to believe in Christ Jesus - might imagine, from the manner in which God had magnified his mercy, in blotting out his sin on his simply believing on Christ, that, supposing he even gave way to the evil propensities of his own heart, his transgressions could do him no hurt now that he was in the favor of God. Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? А именно: если истинно то, что благодать Божия помогает нам тем милосерднее и щедрее, чем больше отягощаемся мы грехом, то, значит, для нас полезнее всего, погрузившись (Утонув) в греховную бездну, все новыми и новыми преступлениями вызывать на себя гнев Божий. Introduction 1:1-17. When he was converted from heathenism and received Christian baptism he gave himself up unreservedly to Christ; he professed adhesion to Christ, and especially to His death; he pledged himself to adopt that death as his own; he entered into fellowship with it in order that he might also enjoy the fellowship of the resurrection of Christ. In this sense they are now consecrated by the use of centuries, and any other phrases substituted for them, though gaining perhaps somewhat in precision, would only seem poor and cold. The reading of the T. R., ἐπιμενοῦμεν, shall we continue? If account is taken of the meaning of the whole previous part, and of the calumnious accusation already expressed Romans 3:8, it will rather be concluded that the question bears on the whole doctrine of justification by grace, chaps. Either way it is a distortion of Paul’s teaching. What shall we say then? The sixth is partly argumentative and partly exhortatorty. "A transition-expression and a debater's phrase" (Morison). Many expound this objection as coming from a Jew, and imagine a sort of dialogue between him and the Apostle. Ибо по какой причине Он служит погибели нечестивых, по той же самой будет воскресением для набожных. But he answers it with an indignant negative. "What shall we say then"-"Then what shall we conclude" (Gspd); "A transition-expression and a debater"s phrase. Romans 3:5; Romans 4:1; Romans 7:7; Romans 8:31; Romans 9:14; Romans 9:30). The most common, the most plausible, and yet the most unfounded objection to the doctrine of justification by faith, is, that it allows men to live in sin that grace may abound. From the whole, learn, That to take any encouragement to live in sin from the consideration of God's rich mercy and free grace towards sinners, is an absurd, abominable, and blasphemous impiety, contrary to all ingenuity, gratitude, and love, both to God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ his Son. They make the apostle’s words more general than he meant or intended them: for the abounding of sin is not the occasion of the abounding of grace in all, but only in some, even in those who confess and forsake their sins.

In Romans 6:5-7, he shows that such is the nature of union with Christ, that it is impossible for any one to share the benefits of his death, without being conformed to his life. What shall we say then? For since everything that is announced concerning Christ seems very paradoxical to human judgment, it ought not to be deemed a new thing, that the flesh, hearing of justification by faith, should so often strike, as it were, against so many stumbling-stones. Should we not after deliverance yield obedience? This he does, not only to instruct the Christians, and to prevent their mistakes, but also to wipe away a calumny industriously spread, as if, in asserting justification by grace without works, he had taught that we are under no obligation to obedience, chap. Here in Romans 6:15-23 Paul gives another reason, namely, sin leads to enslavement and death whereas obedience to God leads to righteousness, sanctification, and eternal life. Learn more Start my trial Back . I consider myself to be a slave of *Christ Jesus. is the only admissible one. He propounds this objection by way of interrogation, partly to show his dislike that his doctrine should be so perverted, and partly to show the peace of his own conscience, that he was far from such a thought. Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Must we abide in sin in order that grace may abound?” Here Paul takes by the throat this hell-hatched, hackneyed argument of the carnal preachers, i. e., that God is glorified by inbred sin abiding in us to keep us humble and magnify the grace of God by forgiving us when we are overcome by the tempter and yield and sin. Yes, and an echo of the rabbinical method of question and answer, but also an expression of exultant victory of grace versus sin. Let us, however, go on in our course; nor let Christ be suppressed, because he is to many a stone of offense, and a rock of stumbling; for as he is for ruin to the ungodly, so he is to the godly for a resurrection. Comp. Romans 6:1 King James Version (KJV) 6 What shall we say then? Romans 6:1-13 Though justified by grace, we may not live in sin; since the very figure of baptism requireth us to die with Christ unto sin, that we may lead a new life of holiness unto God. Sins there will be, ah yes; but repentance and prayer are the banisters on either side of the bridge of life; and these will preserve the true Christian through the temptations of life unto eternal glory.

The second of the two meanings of ἐπιμένωμεν, should we continue? What inference is to be drawn from the doctrine of the gratuitous acceptance of sinners, or justification without works, by faith in the righteousness of Christ? It is a calculation: the more sins committed, the more material will grace find on which to display itself.— ᾿επιμένειν, to continue, persevere, in a state to which a decisive circumstance ought to have put an end. justification by faith is not simply a legal matter between me and God; it is a living relationship.". The use of this phrase points to Paul's training in the Rabbinical schools, where questions were propounded and the students encouraged to debate, objections being suddenly interposed and answered. So I want you to run around that ci… Carried a degree further. Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? has no critical authority; it probably arises from the preceding ἐροῦμεν. The main idea of this section is, that such is the nature of the believer's union with Christ, that his living in sin is not merely an inconsistency, but a contradiction in terms, as much so as to speak of a live dead man, or a good bad one.

(Robertson p. 361) "Shall we sin to our heart"s content and see how far we can exploit the grace of God" (Phi), "Paul"s opponent draws what he thinks is a logical conclusion from all this. “A debater‘s phrase” (Morison). The modern form of antinomianism which clings so tenaciously to the latter position is not nearly so extreme as formerly, there being few religionists who would go so far as to exempt the Christian from any moral duty on the ground that he is saved by "faith only"; their name is legion who categorically exempt believers from any compliance whatever with such ordinances as baptism and the Lord's supper, or even any mandatory membership in the church.

Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? The intimate connection between the two chapters was pointed out thus: There are surely many obligations imposed in the Old Testament which are not binding upon Christians; but such non-binding obligations do not include the requirements of morality; nor can the non-binding nature of the Old Testament be extended to include by implication certain grand ordinances of the Christian religion, these latter being called "the law of faith" or "the law of liberty," and being obligatory, absolutely.
