On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

No one can rise again with Christ, if he has not first died with him. Hence he draws an argument from rising again to dying, as from a consequent to an antecedent, meaning that we must be dead to the world that we may live to Christ.

John Calvin· Commentaries, 1554reformed

That we are dead; that is, to present things, and as our portion. We are so in profession and obligation; for we are buried with Christ, and planted into the likeness of his death. Every Christian is crucified unto the world, and the world is crucified unto him, Gal. vi.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The life of a Christian is hid with Christ. Because I live you shall live also, John xiv. Christ is at present a hidden Christ, or one whom we have not seen; but this is our comfort, that our life is hid with him, and laid up safely with him.
