For anyone who has died has been set free from sin. — Death terminates legal claims; the Greek δικαιόω (dikaioō, "justified/freed") echoes justification language, suggesting sin's dominion is juridically dissolved. This is Paul's most radical claim: death breaks slavery. The believer, co-crucified, is beyond sin's authority. The logic is juridical and mystical simultaneously.
