Rom. 6:2 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book III

Rom. 6:3 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book III

But that the apostle did know Him as one, both who was born and who suffered, namely Christ Jesus, he again says in the same Epistle: "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized in Christ Jesus were baptized in His death? that like as Christ rose from the dead, so should we also walk in newness of life."[300]

Rom. 6:3 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On the Resurrection of the Flesh

ward of such a discipline were not also within its reach; nor could even baptism be properly ordered for the flesh, if by its regeneration a course were not inaugurated tending to its restitution; the apostle himself suggesting this idea: "Know ye not, that so many of us as are baptized into Jesus Christ, are baptized into His death? We are therefore buried with Him by baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised up from the dead, even so we also should walk in newness of life."[328]

Rom. 6:4 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian A Treatise on the Soul

Rom. 6:4 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Against Celsus Book II

so also His burial has an application to those who have been made conformable to His death, who have been both crucified with Him, and have died with Him; as is declared by Paul, "For we were buried with Him by baptism, and have also risen with Him."[179]

Rom. 6:4 - NIV, NAB - in Methodius From the Discourse on the Resurrection

But the image of the heavenly is the resurrection from the dead, and incorruption, in order that "as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life."[41]

Rom. 6:4 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on Matthew Book XIII

who took Him and delivered Him up into the hands of men, might be laughed at by Him who dwells in the heavens, and might be derided by the Lord, inasmuch as, contrary to their expectation, it was to the destruction of their own kingdom and power, that they received from the Father the Son, who was raised on the third day, by having abolished His enemy death, and made us conformed, not only to the image of His death but also of His resurrection; through whom we walk in newness of life,[78]

Rom. 6:5 - NIV, NAB - in Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book VII

y man according to the good pleasure of His kindness, that He might inspire him with the knowledge of His will, and enlighten the eyes of his heart to consider of His wonderful works, and make known to him the judgments of righteousness, that so he might hate every way of iniquity, and walk in the way of truth, that he might be thought worthy of the layer of regeneration, to the adoption of sons, which is in Christ, that "being planted together in the likeness of the death of Christ,"[186]

For "to bring themselves into captivity," and to slay themselves, putting to death "the old man, who is through lusts corrupt," and raising the new man from death, "from the old conversation," by abandoning the passions, and becoming free of sin, both the Gospel and the apostle enjoin.[24]

Rom. 6:6 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On the Resurrection of the Flesh

Besides, if we do not understand it in this sense, it is not our bodily frame which has been transfixed (at all events), nor has our flesh endured the cross of Christ; but the sense is that which he has subjoined, "that the body of sin might be made void, "[320]

Rom. 6:6 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On the Resurrection of the Flesh

by an amendment of life, not by a destruction of the substance, as he goes on to say, "that henceforth we should not serve sin; "[321]

Rom. 6:7 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book III

Wherefore also He drove him out of Paradise, and removed him far from the tree of life, not because He envied him the tree of life, as some venture to assert, but because He pitied him, [and did not desire] that he should continue a sinner for ever, nor that the sin which surrounded him should be immortal, and evil interminable and irremediable. But He set a bound to his [state of] sin, by interposing death, and thus causing sin to cease,[459]

And again, "In that He died, He died unto sin once: but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God."[13]

and as His death was necessary, because of the statement, "For in that He died, He died unto sin once,"[176]

Rom. 6:10 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on John Book I

Indeed even one of the Corinthians to whom Paul declared that he knew nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified, should he learn Him who for our sakes became man, and so receive Him, he would become identified with the beginning of the good things we have spoken of; by the man Jesus he would be made a man of God, and by His death he would die to sin. For "Christ,[51]

And for this reason he says, in the Epistle to the Romans: "Let not sin, therefore, reign in your mortal body, to be under its control: neither yield ye your members instruments of unrighteousness unto sin; but yield yourselves to God, as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God."[123]
