For he that is dead is freed from sin.
 

6:7 is dead. This phrase should read “died” instead of “is dead.”

6:7 freed. “Freed” is the same word as “justified.” The believer is never completely freed from the possibility of sinning in this life (though he cannot live in sin— Romans 6:2), but he is justified from sin—that is, “declared righteous” in Christ.
