Audio commentary on this verse

Note 7 at Ro 6:15: Paul had started this sixth chapter with a similar question as to whether or not his teaching was encouraging people to sin (see note 1 at Ro 6:1). In Ro 6:1-13, he explained that as Christians, we don't sin, because we are dead to sin (see note 3 at Ro 6:2 and note 6 at Ro 6:4). Then in Ro 6:14, he brought up our deliverance from the Law again, which prompted this similar question. He then went on through the rest of this chapter to explain that the second reason we don't sin is because it gives Satan an inroad into our lives (see note 8 at Ro 6:16).
