God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer in it?
All Commentaries on Romans 6:2 Go To Romans 6
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
Here Paul makes the point that past sins have been forgiven and that in this pardon grace so superabounded that earlier sins were remitted as well. Thus whoever tries to increase sin in order to feel an increase of grace does not understand that he is behaving in such a way that grace can do nothing in him. For the work of grace is that we should die to sin.
