10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
10 For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God.
10 When Jesus died, he took sin down with him, but alive he brings God down to us.
10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.
10 When he died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Romans 6:10
Commentary on Romans 6:3-10
(Read Romans 6:3-10)
Baptism teaches the necessity of dying to sin, and being as it were buried from all ungodly and unholy pursuits, and of rising to walk with God in newness of life. Unholy professors may have had the outward sign of a death unto sin, and a new birth unto righteousness, but they never passed from the family of Satan to that of God. The corrupt nature, called the old man, because derived from our first father Adam, is crucified with Christ, in every true believer, by the grace derived from the cross. It is weakened and in a dying state, though it yet struggles for life, and even for victory. But the whole body of sin, whatever is not according to the holy law of God, must be done away, so that the believer may no more be the slave of sin, but live to God, and find happiness in his service.
