Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should no longer serve sin.
All Commentaries on Romans 6:6 Go To Romans 6
Basil the Great
AD 379
By these words we are taught that he who is baptized in Christ is baptized in his death and is not only buried with Christ and planted together with him but is first of all crucified with him. Thus we are instructed that, as he who is crucified is separated from the living, so also he who has been crucified with Christ in the likeness of his death is completely set apart from those who live according to the old man.
