• Our old man-that in us which pleads for sin as the fruit of the perfect grace of God-is crucified with Christ. (“Romans 6” by J.N. Darby)
• {body of sin} He takes the totality and the system of sin in a man, as a body which is nullified by death; its will is judged and no longer masters us. (“Romans 6” by J.N. Darby)
• “Our old man is crucified.” This truth points back to Christ having been made sin for us and cut off in death once forever. All that I was as a sinful child of Adam’s race has been forever put out of God’s sight (Eph. 4:22 JND; Col. 2:11; 3:9; Gal. 5:24). Galatians 2:20 declares the Apostle’s stand in contrast to the Galatians returning to law-keeping. Nevertheless, our old fleshly nature remains (John 3:6; Rom. 7:25; Gal. 5:16; 1 Peter 2:11). (“Help on Hard Verses” by A.C. Brown)
• The "old man" (Rom. 6:6; Eph. 4:22; Col. 3:9) is an abstract term that describes the corrupt condition of the fallen race of Adam-its depraved moral character. The term embodies every ugly feature that marks the fallen human race. To properly see the old man, we must look at the race under Adam as a whole, for it is unlikely that any one person would be marked by all the ugly features that characterize that corrupt state. (“The Believer's Identification With the Death of Christ: Romans 6-7:1-6” by B. Anstey)
• Paul says that the old man has been "crucified" with Christ. This means that God has passed judgment on that corrupt, old Adam state. (“The Believer's Identification With the Death of Christ: Romans 6-7:1-6” by B. Anstey)
• The "old man" is never said to be something in us, but the flesh most certainly is. (“The Believer's Identification With the Death of Christ: Romans 6-7:1-6” by B. Anstey)
• The "old man" is not Adam personally and neither is the "new man" Christ personally (Eph. 4:24; Col. 3:10). The new man is a term that denotes the new moral order that characterizes the new race of men under Christ. G. Davison said, "The new man is not Christ personally, but it is Christ characteristically. " (“The Believer's Identification With the Death of Christ: Romans 6-7:1-6” by B. Anstey)
• "The body of sin" couldn't be referring to our human bodies because they are a creation of God. The human body has been affected by sin-aging and death prove this-and it can be engaged in doing all kinds of sinful acts, but the human body is not intrinsically sinful. (“The Believer's Identification With the Death of Christ: Romans 6-7:1-6” by B. Anstey)
• What Paul is saying here is that in the judgment of the old man, the whole system of sin in its totality has been "annulled" for the believer. The KJV translates "annulled" as "destroyed," but the body of sin has not been destroyed yet; we see the evidence of sin's presence everywhere in the world. (“The Believer's Identification With the Death of Christ: Romans 6-7:1-6” by B. Anstey)
