ACC ~ Romans 6 v7

THE LIMITS GOD SETS ON SIN. IRENAEUS: God set a limit to man’s sin by interposing death and thus causing sin to cease, putting an end to it by the dissolution of the flesh, which should take place in the earth, so that man, ceasing at length to live in sin and dying to it, might begin to live in God. AGAINST HERESIES 3.23.6.

SET FREE. BASIL: He is set free, he is delivered, he is cleansed of all sin, and not sin in word and deed only but also of all irrational movements of the mind. CONCERNING BAPTISM 1.2.

THE DEAD DO NOT SIN. PELAGIUS: Freed means “alienated” from sin, for the dead do not sin in any way. “No one born of God commits sin,” for since he has been crucified and all his members are filled with regret, he will hardly be able to sin. PELAGIUS’S COMMENTARY ON ROMANS.

THEODORET OF CYR: Whoever saw a dead man sleeping in some harlot’s bed, or bloodying his hands with murder, or doing anything else which is sinful? INTERPRETATION OF THE LETTER TO THE ROMANS.
