Context of Romans 6:10
8Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him. 9For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has dominion over Him. The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God. 11So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires.

Commentaries on Romans 6:10
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10He died unto sin once - On this clause Rosenmuller speaks thus: "ͅ ̔ͅ · propter peccatum mortuus est semel, et quidem misera morte. ͅ ̔ͅ , i.e. ̔ ̔, ad expianda peccata; res ipsa docet aliter homines ͅ ̔ͅ, aliter Christum: amat Paulus parallelismum, in quo interpretando multa cautione opus est." "He died unto sin once: i.e. he died on account of sin, and truly a miserable death. ͅ ̔ͅ, is the same as ̔ ̔, for the expiation of sin. Common sense teaches us…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 8-11Verses 8-11 This passage is a confirmation and illustration of what the apostle had said before, Romans 6:5-7. The argument is, that as Christ was once dead but now lives to God, and will no more die, so we, being dead to sin, but living unto God, should not obey sin, but should live only to God. Romans 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ - If we be dead in a manner similar to what he was; if we are made dead to sin by his work, as he was dead in the grave…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 3-10Verses 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…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10He died to sin once for all: Because Christians spiritually died with Jesus, we have also died to sin (6:4–5; 6:2). Jesus was never under sin’s power like we were, because he did not inherit the effects of sin from Adam and never committed sin (2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 4:15). However, when he became human, he entered a world where sin has power. In this human life, he was truly able to be tempted by sin.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 9-119-11. Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him--Though Christ's death was in the most absolute sense a voluntary act (Joh 10:17, 18; Ac 2:24), that voluntary surrender gave death such rightful "dominion over Him" as dissolved its dominion over us. But this once past, "death hath," even in that sense, "dominion over Him no more."Read the comment
