Introduction

1:1 called (f-7) 'A called apostle,' i.e. an apostle by (divine) calling. Cf. ver. 7 'called saints,' and see note there.

Verse 5

Verse 6

6:6 knowing (d-1) In ver. 6 it is objective knowledge, ginosko . In vers. 9 and 16 it is conscious knowledge, oida . See Note to 1 Corinthians 8:1 . serve (e-25) i.e. serve as bondmen.

Verse 7

6:7 justified (f-7) 'Free' is ambiguous. It is justified, cleared, discharged. From sin, note, not sins.

Verse 9

Verse 10

6:10 died, (g-6) died (g-9) Or 'he died,' aorist. It is the fact. see Note, ch. 5.6.

Verse 13

6:13 yield (h-2) There is a distinction between the present tense, which has a continuous present sense, and the aorist, which gives the act in itself.

'Yield yourselves to God' and 'yield your members,' ver. 15 (aorists), mean let it have been done, as a once accomplished act. dead, (i-20) Lit. 'as out of dead alive.'

6:22 holiness, (c-20) Hagiasmos . See Note i at ch. 1.4.
