This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
13. μέλλετε ἀποθνήσκειν. The periphrastic future of the durative present—you will continue in or be in a state of death; ἀποθανεῖσθε = you will die, of the single event; cf. Moulton, p. 114; Burton, § 72. Consequently the reference is the same as in Rom 7:10-11.

θανατοῦτε. Sc. διὰ ἁμαρτίαν, Rom 8:10; the durative present. Cf. νέκρωσις, 2Co 4:10; νεκροῦν, Col 3:5, ct[157] aor. Rom 7:4. τὰς πράξεις τοῦ σώματος, in a bad sense, because of the |[158] κατὰ σάρκα, and in antithesis to πνεῦμα: the body’s practices independent of spirit are bad.
