Identification with Christ’s Life
Identification with Christ’s Life Excerpt Paul concludes his first words on sin and the believer by reinforcing the model of Christ ( 6:10 )—dead to sin, alive to God ( 6:10–11 ). The word “consider” ( 6:11 ; “count,” niv ) is a mathematician’s term and means “to add up” or “calculate.” Paul is saying, “Add up the facts and live accordingly.” More Hughes, Robert B., and J.
