📚 Historical Context
Paul wrote the letter to the Romans around 57 AD to address both Jewish and Gentile Christians in a diverse and often morally challenging Roman society. In this verse, he counters the idea that God's grace gives license to keep sinning, emphasizing that believers have died to sin through their union with Christ in baptism. This teaching was part of Paul's broader argument for living a transformed life as a result of salvation.
