    • 6:6

      our old personality: Or “our old self; the person we used to be.” Lit., “our old man.” The Greek word anʹthro·pos basically refers to “a human being,” male or female.

      was nailed to the stake along with him: The Gospels use the Greek verb syn·stau·roʹo of those who were literally executed alongside Jesus. (Mt 27:44; Mr 15:32; Joh 19:32) A number of times in his letters, Paul mentions Jesus’ execution on the stake (1Co 1:13, 23; 2:2; 2Co 13:4), but here he uses the term in a figurative sense. He shows that Christians have put their old personality to death through faith in the executed Christ. Paul used this term in a similar way in his letter to the Galatians, where he wrote: “I am nailed to the stake along with Christ.”​—Ga 2:20.
