In the Greek, the word for "death" (θάνατος, thanatos) signifies a complete and final separation from life. Historically, crucifixion was a method of execution reserved for the most heinous criminals, yet Christ's death was not for His own sins but for the sins of humanity. This underscores the gravity and the purpose of His sacrifice, fulfilling the Old Testament prophecies and sacrificial system, which pointed to a need for a perfect atonement.<p><b>He died to sin</b><br />The Greek word for "sin" (ἁμαρτία, hamartia) refers to missing the mark or falling short of God's standard. Christ's death was a decisive act against sin, breaking its power and dominion. In a historical context, this reflects the Jewish understanding of sin as a barrier between humanity and God, which required atonement. Christ's death effectively dismantled this barrier, offering reconciliation and redemption.<p><b>once for all</b><br />The phrase "once for all" (ἐφάπαξ, ephapax) in Greek indicates a singular, unrepeatable event. This highlights the sufficiency and completeness of Christ's sacrifice. Unlike the repeated sacrifices of the Old Testament, which were temporary and symbolic, Christ's death was final and all-encompassing. This is a cornerstone of Christian doctrine, affirming that no further sacrifice is needed for the atonement of sin.<p><b>but the life He lives</b><br />The transition from death to life in this phrase signifies resurrection and victory. The Greek word for "life" (ζωή, zoe) implies not just physical life but a quality of life that is eternal and divine. This life is characterized by a restored relationship with God, free from the bondage of sin. Historically, the resurrection was a pivotal event that transformed the early Christian community, providing hope and assurance of eternal life.<p><b>He lives to God</b><br />This phrase encapsulates the purpose and direction of Christ's resurrected life. The Greek preposition "to" (τῷ, tō) indicates orientation or direction. Christ's life is now fully oriented towards God, exemplifying perfect obedience and communion. This serves as a model for believers, who are called to live their lives in devotion and service to God. In a scriptural context, this reflects the ultimate goal of salvation: to restore humanity to a right relationship with God, living in His presence and for His glory.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/romans/6.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(10) But it is not possible that the life of Christ should fail. Death has lost all its power over Him. The death which He died, He died to sin. It was the last sacrifice which He made to sin, and one that freed Him from its dominion for ever. He died to it once for all, and His death did not need to be, and could not be, repeated. On the other hand, His life is assured, because it is wholly dependent upon God.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/romans/6.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 10.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God</span>. "Died unto sin" certainly does not mean here, as some have taken it, died <span class="accented">by reason of sin</span>, or <span class="accented">to atone for sin</span>, but has the sense, elsewhere obvious in this chapter, of <span class="greek">ἀποθνήσκειν</span>, followed by a dative, which was explained under ver. 2. Christ was, indeed, never subject to sin, or himself infected with it, as we are; but he "bore the sins of many;" "the Lord laid on him the iniquity of us all." He submitted for us to the condition and penalty of human sin; but, when he died, he threw off its burden, and was done with it for ever (cf. <a href="/hebrews/9-28.htm">Hebrews 9:28</a>, "Unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time <span class="accented">without sin</span> unto salvation"). The purpose of thus describing the permanent life to God of the risen Christ is, of course, to show that the new life of us who are accounted to have risen with Christ must in like manner be permanent and free from sin. "Quo docere vult hanc vitae novitatem tota vila esse Christianis persequendam, Nam si Christi imaginem in se repraesentare debent, hanc perpetuo durare necesse est. Non quod uno momento emoriatur caro in nobis, sicuti nuper diximus: sed quia retrocedere in ea mortificanda non liceat. Si enim in coenum nostrum revolvimur, Christum abnegamus; cujus nisi per vitae novitatem consortes esse non possumus, sicut ipse vitam incorruptibilem agit" (Calvin). The next verse expresses this clearly. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/romans/6-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">[The death]</span><br /><span class="grk">ὃ</span> <span class="translit">(ho)</span><br /><span class="parse">Personal / Relative Pronoun - Accusative Neuter Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_3739.htm">Strong's 3739: </a> </span><span class="str2">Who, which, what, that. </span><br /><br /><span class="word">He died,</span><br /><span class="grk">ἀπέθανεν</span> <span class="translit">(apethanen)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_599.htm">Strong's 599: </a> </span><span class="str2">To be dying, be about to die, wither, decay.
