Theophylact of Ohrid, on Rom 6:23

“For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God, life everlasting, in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

“"For the wages of sin is death." Thus, he says, to you also, who served sin, sin gave "wages" — death. "But the gift of God." He did not say: wages from God, but: "gift." For you did not receive it as a reward or recompense for labors, but all of that came from grace in Christ Jesus: for all was accomplished by Him.”
