Matthew Poole and continuators on Romans 6:11

11 Likewise reckon ye also your selves to be dead indeed unto sin; but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord .

So we in like manner must make account, that by vertue of his death, we are dead to sin, and by vertue of his Resurrection are alive to God, and so alive as never to resume our former courses, or return again to our former sins.

Or in Iesus Christ our Lord. i. e. after the Similitude of Jesus Christ, who so lives as to dye no more. Or else this phrase imports that Jesus Christ is the root of our spiritual life, even as the Cion lives in the stock, so Believers are alive unto God in Jesus Christ, receiving from him that vertue whereby their spiritual Life is begun maintained and perfected.
