Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

Romans 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin.(doesn't mean you won't ever sin again:.1John 2:1), live any longer therein?

Romans 6:3 Know you not, that so many of us as were baptized into Emmanuel the Christ were baptized into his death?

Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism.(what baptism?).into death, that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Newness of life does not involve amplifying the sinful life you may have come out of. The satanic philosophy is 'sin more, get more grace'. It's an evil philosophy put out by the great deceiver for the stupid non thinking people still living from their low consciousness level:.Revelation 12:9.

Romans 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death.(1Corinthians 11:26), we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.

Romans 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man.is crucified, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Romans 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man.is crucified.("is crucified" is a primary preposition.denoting union).with him.(as effective as Emmanuel's being crucified was with His death, so is our severance from sin, as far as God is concerned), that the body of sin.(note that the low consciousness that produces sin is a body {Romans 7:24}, a body of poor quality beliefs men, women and children collectively {mass mind} and individually has accepted, having been propagandized by the group known as 'mankind' as compared to 'humanity', see explanation at 'mankind' for what's meant by 'mankind' and the other group 'humanity'?; causing so many {Romans 3:23} to head in a direction that is hurtful).might be destroyed.(by Him:.Hebrews 1:3), that henceforth we should.(word 'should' not in original).not.(or, 'cannot' or 'no longer', as the original is a primary particle of qualified negation, not absolute negation; in other words, once one is qualified by belief in Christ, he is out of sin as far as the Creator is concerned, even though he still may sin).serve sin.(or, keep 'missing the mark', which is what the word sin means; original for 'serve sin' is 'be in bondage to':.1John 1:5: 3:5. 

Just as Christ is a body of truth and righteousness, humanity too, is a body, an ego body, a body which has brought him all his problems and hurts, so that when he would become aware of the opposite (*), he would value the contrasting aspect of life enough to hold onto it.

Romans 6:7 For he that is dead.(Romans 7:4).is.freed from sin.

Romans 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with.(word 'with' not in original, but implied).him.(original has it:.'that we are united with Him' and this, referring to the love nature).

Better would have been:.'Now if dying (dying from what?) with Christ (because we now know what Christ means. It means the same consciousness as the great infinite intelligence we commonly call the Creator or God) we can know for sure that we are in the same Christ consciousness' or.'in Him'; that is, we are one:.Romans 12:4,5.

Romans 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dies no more. Death has no more dominion over him.

And so the same thing about death is true for us also.

Romans 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once.(Hebrews 9:26), but in that he lives, he lives unto God.

Romans 6:11 Likewise reckon.(consider yourself; a thing of the mind; how you think; recognize, be aware, have it in mind; you too, like Emmanuel, have died to sin, the ego ways that kept you in low consciousness).you also yourselves to be dead.indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Emmanuel the Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the lusts thereof.

Romans 6:12 Let not sin therefore.(missing the mark of love, so necessary to have a relationship with the Creator).reign.(sin reigns when you hold in your mind as true a standard that tells you that you are still a sinner, instead of a standard that tells you that you are righteous; sin reigns because one of two ways has been selected, but why would one select a way that has no power for good, a way already put away for all time, unless he or she wants to go back to the old life that caused heartaches; such 'unsaneness':.2Peter 2:22).in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the lusts thereof.

Lust is excessive desire or, consumed by desires, that is, one's desires become the 'be all end all', the selfishness of life, the purpose for existing as compared to loving and caring for others.

Romans 6:13 Neither yield you your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin. But yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

Romans 6:13 Neither yield you your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin. But yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God

Paraphrase:.'Don't let yourself be used by thoughts leading to actions that get you into trouble':.Job 28:28; Colossians 1:10. Being alive from the dead is living apart from the ways of death:.Jeremiah 21:8 "And unto this people you shall say, Thus says the LORD; Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.".So, there is a way of living that leads to death.

Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under the law, but under grace.

How do you keep under grace?

Romans 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law.(*), but under grace? God forbid.

"God forbid" because you'll reap what you sow (2Peter 2:22), but some have to learn the hard way:.Eclectic Notes on the Bible:."may we then sin because we are not under law that condemns.(what law then applies, if any? certainly not a condemnatory one. Instead the law that upholds all the universe and what's that?.1John 4:7-16, but under God’s free unmerited favour that imputes no sin, but justifies and saves? Far be it from us. Is it thus we would or could use our liberty? What could be more base? If I am by Christ thus freed, for what, for whom, shall I use my freedom?".2Corinthians 5:2; Jude 1:3.

Matthew Henry's Commentary:."Let the thought that this state will soon be at an end encourage the true Christian, concerning the promptings of lusts, which so often perplex and distress him."

Comprised with.Peoples New Testament Notes:.Paul objected that some people thought grace was an encouragement to sin and shows with much emphasis, that since grace, the forgiveness regarding sin {what really is 'sin'?}, implies that the sinner had died to sin:.Romans 6:2,8; Colossians 3:3. If you're dead to something it can no longer affect you. It is those who have been freed from the dominion of sin who know sin no longer counts.

Romans 6:16 Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness?

Romans 6:16 Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death.(the ego level).or of obedience.(original for 'obedience' is 'to listen'; how many times your mother said when you were a kid 'you just don't listen', Ha ha!).unto righteousness.(the high consciousness level)?

Importance of surrender.

Romans 6:17 But God be thanked that you were the servants of sin.(talking here of the contrasts of living), but you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

Romans 6:18 Being then made free from sin, you became the servants of righteousness.

1Corinthians 7:22; 5:21.

One serves rightrousness by being good. You didn't get rid of your dark side by your own works:.Isaiah 64:6 "...all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags and we all do fade as a leaf and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.".The dark side dissipates from highly influencing you when you know what the gift does:.Romans 5:17. It's a gift, so no need to ask for it! Like something you stuck in a closet that someone long ago gave you that was forgotten about and now you come across it, take it out of the closet appreciatively and enjoy.

Romans 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh. For as you have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

Romans 6:20 For when you were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.

What does this mean?

Romans 6:21 What fruit had you then in those things whereof you are now ashamed? For the end of those things.(those things the selfishness of the ego causes).is death.

1Corinthians 15:22.

Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto holiness and the end, everlasting life.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Emmanuel the Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin.(sin is living from the ego level {Romans 8:13} which gets you nothing spiritual and misses the mark of a high consciousness relationship with God).is death.(death being the separation from all that would provide life {John 10:10}, which is, being in the consciousness of God), but the gift of God is eternal life.{John 10:28; 17:3: Hebrews 10:12}.through Emmanuel the Christ our Lord.
