Romans 6:15 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

What then? doth it follow from hence that we are lawless, and may live as we list? God forbid: q.d. No, by no means, the premises afford no such conclusion; though we are not under the curse and rigour of the law, yet we are under its directions and discipline: the gospel allows of sin no more than the law. The apostle is careful, both here and elsewhere, to prevent licentiousness, or the abuse of Christian liberty: see Galatians 5:13 1 Peter 2:16: see Romans 6:1, and See Poole on "Romans 6:1".
