Romans 6:5-7
New English Translation
5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will certainly also be united in the likeness of his resurrection.[a] 6 We know that[b] our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us,[c] so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 (For someone who has died has been freed from sin.)[d]

- Romans 6:5 tn Grk “we will certainly also of his resurrection.”
- Romans 6:6 tn Grk “knowing this, that.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
- Romans 6:6 tn Grk “may be rendered ineffective, inoperative,” or possibly “may be destroyed.” The term καταργέω (katargeō) has various nuances. In Rom 7:2 the wife whose husband has died is freed from the law (i.e., the law of marriage no longer has any power over her, in spite of what she may feel). A similar point seems to be made here (note v. 7).
- Romans 6:7 sn Verse 7 forms something of a parenthetical comment in Paul’s argument.
