Romans 6:2
God forbid. "By no means", as in the Revised Version. The answer
is emphatic. The thought is abhorrent, and the thing impossible from
the very nature of the Christian life. The Christian life begins with a
death to sin.
How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer in it? The
Revised Version says, "Who died to sin". That is correct. The Greek
verb "apothnesko" is in the past tense. A fact is referred to that
occurred in the past. Death is a separation. When we severed our
relation with sin, we died to it. If we have cut loose from it, how can
we continue in it?
