\nRom 6:1-23\u00a0 \u00a0KJV<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
\n(Prolepsis 981<\/a>)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
\n(Prolepsis 981<\/a>)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
\n(Ellipsis 18<\/a>)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptismE <\/span><\/sup>into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life<\/u>A<\/u><\/span><\/sup> .
\n(EllipsisE <\/span><\/sup>18<\/a>; 113<\/a>; Antimereia<\/u>A<\/u><\/span><\/sup> 500<\/a>)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall beE<\/span><\/sup> also [in the likeness<\/i><\/span>] of [his<\/i><\/span>] resurrection:
\n(EllipsisE <\/span><\/sup>76<\/a>)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n6 Knowing this, that our old manS\/M <\/span><\/sup>is crucified with [him<\/i><\/span>], that the body of sinS\/M<\/span><\/sup> might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sinS<\/span><\/sup>.
\n(SynonymiaS <\/span><\/sup>332<\/a>; MetonymyM <\/span><\/sup>565<\/a>; 569<\/a>)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n7 For he that is dead<\/u>A<\/span><\/sup>\u2193<\/span><\/span><\/sub><\/span> is A<\/span><\/sup> \u2191<\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span>freed<\/u> from sin.
\n(Antithesis<\/u>A<\/u><\/span><\/sup> 716<\/a>)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n8 Now if we be dead<\/u> A<\/span><\/sup>\u2193<\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span> with Christ, we believe that we shall also A<\/span><\/sup>\u2191 <\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span>live<\/u> with him:
\n(Antithesis 716<\/a>)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n13 Neither yield ye your members [as<\/i><\/span>] instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members [as<\/i><\/span>] instruments of righteousness unto God.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n 17<\/a> But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but<\/a> ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
\n(Ellipsis 60<\/a>)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
\n(Ellipsis 30<\/a>)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things [is<\/i><\/span>] death.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n23 For the wages of sin [is<\/i><\/span>] death; but the gift of God [is<\/i><\/span>] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
\n4 Therefore we are<\/span> [were<\/b><\/i>] buried with him by [the<\/b><\/i>] baptism [<\/span>of him<\/b><\/i><\/span>] <\/span>into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nVerse 5 Ellipsis: see above and page 76<\/a>.
\n<\/span><\/span>
\n
\nVerse 6 Synonymia<\/a>: \u201cthe repetition of words similar in sense, but different in sound and origin\u201d.
\nA common error people make is to mistakenly think of a synonym as a word with the SAME meaning as another. We have a synonym, however, when a word has a SIMILAR meaning as another.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nIn the Preface of
\n\u201c<\/span>SYNONYMS AND ANTONYMS: or KINDRED WORDS AND THEIR OPPOSITES<\/u><\/span><\/a>\u201d<\/span>
\nby C. J. Smith, M. A. (1879), the author\/publisher offers this simple definition of synonyms:
\n\u201cWords which agree in expressing one or more characteristic ideas in common\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nIn the Preface of
\n\u201cDICTIONARY OF SYNONYMS OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE<\/u><\/a>\u201d
\nWilliam Collins, Sons, and Company (1800<\/a> ?), we find…
\n\u201cA synonym is defined as one of two or more words of the same grammatical class, which are the precise equivalents of each other, or which have the same extent and range of meaning and usage. But, strictly speaking, no two words have the same exact signification in every or any connection<\/u>; or to put it less strongly, if no two words are synonymous, save such as are absolutely identical in sense and use, there are not more than twenty or thirty such words in the language [English<\/i><\/span>]. Synonyms are therefore taken in a more loose sense to denote such words as have great and essential resemblances of meaning, but which have at the same time minute or subordinate differences<\/u>; or terms which approach to each other so nearly in meaning, that they may be substituted one for the other without any great or apparent disturbance of the sense.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nI would suggest that God’s use of the figure of speech Synonymia applies a double-edged sword to the final part of the above description, i.e<\/i>. \u201cterms which approach to each other so nearly in meaning, that they may be substituted one for the other without any great or apparent disturbance of the sense\u201d. Synonymia makes use of the similarities of meaning in words to magnify their dissimilarities, thereby augmenting the scope of the message. Consider His use of the synonyms made<\/b><\/i><\/a>,\u00a0\u00a0formed<\/b><\/i><\/a>, and created<\/a> <\/b><\/i>in the opening chapters of the book Genesis. Casual, perhaps even careless, use of these words as having exactly the same meaning has lead to no end of confusion and doctrinal error. But when we understand that these synonyms DO NOT have exactly the same meaning, then, if we hunger for truth, we will investigate through further study and discover a much broader sense of what God is saying.
\n(See Heb. 4:12<\/a> \u201c…<\/span><\/span>piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul<\/span><\/span><\/span>2<\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span> and spirit<\/span><\/span><\/span>3<\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span>, and of the joints and marrow<\/span><\/span><\/span>1<\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span>…\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span> [made2<\/span><\/sup>, created3<\/span><\/sup>, formed1<\/span><\/sup>]; joints and marrow are parts of the body which God formed).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nAn example you may find of synonym<\/i> in a dictionary are the words begin<\/i>, start<\/i>, and commence<\/i>. Imagine the \u201cIndianapolis 500\u201d auto race leading off with the words, \u201cgentlemen, commence your engines\u201d. Doesn’t quite sound right, does it? Or how about, \u201cgentlemen, begin your engines\u201d? If the words begin<\/i>, start<\/i>, and commence <\/i>all mean exactly the same thing there would be no problem; but they don’t. Each has its own flavor or sense, with recognizable differences when used interchangeably. This similarity of meaning combined with a flavor of difference is what enables Synonymia to add scope to a context, thereby broadening our perspective.
\nExample of Synonymia:
\n(\u201cAs we commence<\/i> this year’s event, let me begin<\/i> by saying; ‘gentlemen, start<\/i> your engines’ \u201d.)
\nNote: In 1977 Janet Guthrie became the first of many female drivers to participate in the race.
