<p>6:11- see on Rom. 2:26; 6:10.</p><p><i>Even so count yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus</i>&ndash; &ldquo;Count&rdquo; translates the common Greek word for &ldquo;impute&rdquo;. As God imputes Christ&rsquo;s righteousness to us, we are to count ourselves, perceive ourselves, feel ourselves, as really like that. Hence the emphasis- &ldquo;you also yourselves&rdquo;, we, us, are to see ourselves as God sees us, rather than merely accepting that He wishes to see us as He chooses to see us. His opinion of us in the ultimate reality for us- and we are to share that view.<br />Paul&rsquo;s emphasis is not so much that baptized believers will be resurrected when Christ returns, true as this is and important within his overall argument; but rather that having been raised with Christ, the new resurrection life of Jesus breaks through into our lives right now. Elsewhere Paul likewise talks of our participating in glory right now (2 Cor. 3:16), whereas the ultimate glory is yet to come and the transformation of our bodies (Phil. 3:21).&nbsp;</p>
