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
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Get for yourself none of the things that are on earth, and do not be active in the affairs of the present life. For your life is hidden now and unseen by those who do not believe, but the time will come when it will be seen. But now is not your time. Since you have died once for all, refuse to mind the things that are on earth. The greatness of your virtue is seen especially when you have prevailed over the arrogance of the flesh and act toward the good things of the world just as if you were dead to this life.
