SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:15
¿Pues qu? ¿Pecaremos, porque no estamos bajo la ley, sino bajo la gracia? En ninguna manera.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Romans 6:15
Verse 15. Shall we sin because we are not under the law] Shall we abuse our high and holy calling because we are not under that law which makes no provision for pardon, but are under that Gospel which has opened the fountain to wash away all sin and defilement? Shall we sin because grace abounds? Shall we do evil that good may come of it? This be far from us!
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. What then? shall we sin , etc..] Does it follow from hence, that therefore we may sin, and go on and continue in it, because we are not under the law, but under grace ? here the apostle meets with an objection of the adversary, saying, that if men are not under the law, and are free from all obligation to it, then they may live as they list; nor can they be chargeable with sin, or that be objected to them; since where there is no law, there is no transgression, and sin is not imputed where there is no law; and if they are under grace, or in the love and favour of God, from which there is no separation, then they cannot be damned, do what they will: but this objection proceeds upon a mistaken sense of the phrase, under the law; for believers, though they are not under the law as the ministry of Moses, yet they are under it, as it is in the hands of Christ; and though not under its curse, yet under obligation to obedience to it, from principles of love and grace; and a transgression of it is sin in them, as in others; and which is taken notice of by God, and visited with stripes in a: fatherly way, though his loving kindness is not removed: and to argue from the unchangeableness of God's grace, or the doctrines of it, as encouraging licentiousness, is greatly to abuse the grace of God, and manifestly betrays such persons to be ignorant of it and its influence; since nothing more powerfully engages to a love of holiness, and hatred of sin; wherefore the apostle, answers to this objection in his usual way, God forbid ; signifying his abhorrence of everything of this kind.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-15 - The strongest motives against sin, and to enforce holiness, are her stated. Being made free from the reign of sin, alive unto God, an having the prospect of eternal life, it becomes believers to be greatl concerned to advance thereto. But, as unholy lusts are not quite roote out in this life, it must be the care of the Christian to resist their motions, earnestly striving, that, through Divine grace, they may no prevail in this mortal state. Let the thought that this state will soo be at an end, encourage the true Christian, as to the motions of lusts which so often perplex and distress him. Let us present all our power to God, as weapons or tools ready for the warfare, and work of righteousness, in his service. There is strength in the covenant of grace for us. Sin shall not have dominion. God's promises to us ar more powerful and effectual for mortifying sin, than our promises to God. Sin may struggle in a real believer, and create him a great dea of trouble, but it shall not have dominion; it may vex him, but it shall not rule over him. Shall any take occasion from this encouragin doctrine to allow themselves in the practice of any sin? Far be suc abominable thoughts, so contrary to the perfections of God, and the design of his gospel, so opposed to being under grace. What can be stronger motive against sin than the love of Christ? Shall we sin against so much goodness, and such love?

Robertson's NT Word Studies
6:15 {What qen?} (ti oun?). Another turn in the argument about the excess of grace. {Shall we Sin?} (hamarteswmen?). First aorist active deliberative subjunctive of hamartanw. "Shall we commit Sin" (occasional acts of Sin as opposed to the life of Sin as raised by epimenwmen tei hamartiai in verse #1)? {Because} (hoti). The same reason as in verse #1 and taken up from the very words in verse #14. Surely, the objector says, we may take a night off now and qen and Sin a little bit "since we are under grace."
