Commentaries and Concordances

PNT:

6:22 But now being made free from sin. Now being freed from the bondage of sin, sin should not be served at all, because they have
become servants of God. He has the right to their full service. The fruit borne should be
holiness, holy lives.
The end everlasting life. The result of the service of sin is death (Ro 6:21), but that of the service of God is everlasting life.

MHC:

6:21-23 The pleasure and profit of sin do not deserve to be called fruit. Sinners are but ploughing iniquity, sowing vanity, and reaping the same. Shame came into the world with sin, and is still the certain effect of it. The end of sin is death. Though the way may seem pleasant and inviting, yet it will be bitterness in the latter end. From this condemnation the believer is set at liberty, when made free from sin. If the fruit is unto holiness, if there is an active principle of true and growing grace, the end will be everlasting life; a very happy end! Though the way is up-hill, though it is narrow, thorny, and beset, yet everlasting life at the end of it is sure. The gift of God is eternal life. And this gift is through Jesus Christ our Lord. Christ purchased it, prepared it, prepares us for it, preserves us to it; he is the All in all in our salvation.
