Matthew Poole and continuators on Romans 6:16

16 Know ye not , that to whom▪ ye yield your selves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto Righteousness ?

He refutes the aforementioned cavil, by a common Axiome that every one knows and apprehends.

Which will be rewarded with eternal life. But why doth he not say of obedience unto life? then the Antithesis had been more plain and full. Because though sin be the cause of death, yet obedience is not the cause of life (as v. 23.) but only the way to it.
