Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
Suffered. 'Aleph ('), 'died,' [apothanontos].
For us. Supported by 'Aleph (') ('you') A; but B C, Vulgate, omit. In the flesh - in His body of humiliation.
Arm - (Ephesians 6:11; Ephesians 6:13.)
The same mind - of suffering with patient willingness what God wills.
He that hath suffered - a thing now past х pathoon (G3958)]: Christ first, and in His person the believer: a general proposition.
Hath ceased, х pepautai (G3973)] - 'has been made to cease;' i:e., has obtained by His past and completed suffering a cessation from sin, which heretofore lay on him (Romans 6:6-11, especially 7). The Christian is by faith one with Christ: as Christ by death is judicially freed from sin, so the Christian who has in the person of Christ died has no more to do with it judicially, and ought have no more to do with it actually. "The flesh" is the sphere in which sin has place.
