On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Sin lies very much in the gratifying of the body, and humouring that. And there is a reason implied in the phrase your mortal body; because it is a mortal body, and hastening apace to the dust, therefore let not sin reign in it. It was sin that made our bodies mortal, and therefore do not yield obedience to such an enemy.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The "body" is here viewed as the instrument by which all the sins of the heart become facts of the outward life, and as itself the seat of the lower appetites; and it is called "our mortal body," probably to remind us how unsuitable is this reign of sin in those who are "alive from the dead." But the reign here meant is the unchecked dominion of sin within us.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Let not sin reign even in your mortal body - It must be subject to death, but it need not be subject to sin.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
