This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Are become dead (ἐθανατώθητε)
Rev., more accurately, ye were made dead, put to death; because this ethical death is fellowship with Christ's death, which was by violence.
Who was raised
An important addition, because it refers to the newness of life which issues from the rising with Christ. See Rom 6:3, Rom 6:11, Rom 6:13, Rom 6:22.
Bring forth fruit
The figure of marriage is continued, but the reference is not to be pressed. The real point of analogy is the termination of relations to the old state.
