Romans 6:6

We know that ¹  our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us, ²  so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

2Ki 5:17; Isa 26:13; Joh 8:34-36; Ro 6:12,22; Ro 7:24; Ro 7:25; Ro 8:3,13; Ro 8:4; Ga 2:20; Ga 5:24; Ga 6:14; Eph 4:22; Col 2:11,12; Col 3:5,9,10

¹ tn Grk “knowing this, that.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

² tn Grk “may be rendered ineffective, inoperative,” or possibly “may be destroyed.” The term καταργέω (katargew) has various nuances. In Rom 7:2 the wife whose husband has died is freed from the law (i.e., the law of marriage no longer has any power over her, in spite of what she may feel). A similar point seems to be made here (note v. 7).
