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
Ambrose of Milan
AD 397
Until this price was paid for all men by the shedding of the Lord’s blood for the forgiveness of all, blood was required of each man who by the law and the customary rite was following the holy precepts of religion. Since the price has been paid for all after Christ the Lord suffered, there is no longer need for the blood of each individual to be shed by circumcision, for in the blood of Christ the circumcision of all has been solemnized, and in his cross we have all been crucified with him and buried together in his tomb and planted together in the likeness of his death that we may no longer be slaves of sin.
