For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
All Commentaries on Romans 6:23 Go To Romans 6
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Paul does not parallel “the wages of sin” with “the wages of good deeds” because he wants to show that they were not set free by their own efforts, nor had they done anything to earn their salvation. It was by grace alone that all these things came about.
