 He who is dead is justified from sin. Sin can no longer be laid to his charge as a thing that exists in a living and responsible man. (Was Judas Iscariot at the Last Supper?)
 You cannot charge a dead man with sin. He has no perverse will, no evil lusts. He may have committed many sins while alive, he may or may not be justified from them. But you cannot accuse him of sin. (Was Judas Iscariot at the Last Supper?)
 You can't dispose of an evil nature, except by death (Rom. 6:7). (Hunt’s Sayings - 394 by R. Hunt)
 Being dead with Christ; we have an honorable discharge from the old master, sin. (The Believer's Identification With the Death of Christ: Romans 6-7:1-6 by B. Anstey)

"Free" is ambiguous. It is justified, cleared, discharged. From sin, note, not sins.

W. Kelly Translation

WK Translation Notes

a
"Justified" is correct. "Freed" as in the KJV is equivocal, and might be confounded with that "liberty" which the Spirit of the Lord produces. From the structure of the word we see that the justification here meant is expressed not as an act but as a state.
