The letter to the Romans conveys a message of God's love and
how through his grace, he has prepared a way to liberate
mankind from a life of sin to a life of righteousness. But
the way the message is presented, this grace may easily be

In Chapter 6:1-14, a concise but detailed outline of the

namely, the Indicative and the Imperative. Key statements in
these sections are: 'How can we who have died to sin,
continue to live in it?' (6:2), and 'Consider yourselves dead

separate meanings of these statements may lead to the
conclusion that the pericope encourages libertinism.
