Rom 6:11. Λογίζεσθε, you reckon) The indicative; for the imperative begins in the following verse. So λογιζόμεθα, Rom 3:28 [we conclude that a man is justified by faith, etc.] Whatever is the standing in which every one is, in and according to that standing he ought to account himself.[58]-ΕἾΝΑΙ) is omitted by a few copies, but they are ancient. Baumgarten adopts this reading-I consider it doubtful.[59]-ἐν, in) It is construed with alive, nay even with dead too: So Rom 6:8, only that the prepositions with [σὺν, Rom 6:8] and by, ch. Rom 7:4 [διὰ, by the body of Christ] are rather used in that connection.-τῷ κυρίῳ ὑμῶν) See Appendix. crit. Ed. II. on this passage.[60]
[58] So also the Christian, whose standing is, that of being dead to sin with Christ, and raised with Him in newness of life.-ED.
