King James Version (KJV)
“In our prayers we talk to God, in our Bible study God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking.”
— D.L. Moody
Scripture focus
8. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9. Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 10. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:8-11 — KJV
If we be dead. Literally, “if we died” (cf. v. 7).
We believe. As Abraham believed that what God had promised “he was able also to perform” (Romans 4:21; cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:24; 2 Thessalonians 3:3; 2 Timothy 2:11).
We shall also live. This does not refer primarily to the future life in glory, though this is implied (see on v. 5). Paul is emphasizing that the death which delivers from the bondage of sin is followed by a new life of liberty (vs. 8-11) that is no longer under the dominion of sin but is devoted to the service of a new master (vs. 12-14). Paul is particularly referring to the “newness of life” (v. 4) to be enjoyed by the Christian here on this earth — the life of Christ in the believer (Galatians 2:20) and the life of the believer in Christ (Colossians 3:3).
