Context of Romans 6:3

1What should we say then? Should we continue to sin so that God’s kindness will increase? 2That’s unthinkable! As far as sin is concerned, we have died. So how can we still live under sin’s influence? Don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4When we were baptized into his death, we were placed into the tomb with him. As Christ was brought back from death to life by the glorious power of the Father, so we, too, should live a new kind of life. 5If we’ve become united with him in a death like his, certainly we will also be united with him when we come back to life as he did.

Commentaries on Romans 6:3

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 3Know ye not, etc. - Every man who believes the Christian religion, and receives baptism as the proof that he believes it, and has taken up the profession of it, is bound thereby to a life of righteousness. To be baptized into Christ, is to receive the doctrine of Christ crucified, and to receive baptism as a proof of the genuineness of that faith, and the obligation to live according to its precepts. Baptized into his death? - That, as Jesus Christ in his…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 3Know ye not - This is a further appeal to the Christian profession, and the principles involved in it, in answer to the objection. The simple argument in this verse and the two following is, that by our very profession made in baptism, we have renounced sin, and have pledged ourselves to live to God. So many of us … - All who were baptized; that is, all professed Christians. As this renunciation of sin had been thus made by all who professed religion, so…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. 3Baptism is the ceremony that initiates a person into the Christian faith (see Acts 2:38, 41). It sometimes represents the whole conversion experience. Paul describes baptism as the way Christians unite to Christ in his death and resurrection (see also Romans 6:4). However, baptism has no value apart from faith.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 33. Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ--compare 1Co 10:2. were baptized into his death?--sealed with the seal of heaven, and as it were formally entered and articled, to all the benefits and all the obligations of Christian discipleship in general, and of His death in particular. And since He was "made sin" and "a curse for us" (2Co 5:21; Ga 5:13), "bearing our sins in His own body on the tree," and "rising again for our…Read the comment
