Charles Ellicott Commentary Romans 6:10

"For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God." — Romans 6:10 (ASV)

But it is not possible that the life of Christ should fail. Death has lost all its power over Him. The death which He died, He died to sin. It was the last sacrifice which He made to sin, and one that freed Him from its dominion forever. He died to it once for all, and His death did not need to be, and could not be, repeated. On the other hand, His life is assured, because it is wholly dependent upon God.
