  King of the Romans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
King of the Romans (Latin: Rex Romanorum) was a title used by the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire before their coronation by the Pope, and later also by the heir designate of the Empire.
The Holy Roman Empire was based on the kingdom of Germany and the King had to go to Rome to be crowned Emperor by the Pope.
This junior King, who usually did not participate in the rule, bore the title of a "King of the Romans".

 Wenceslaus, King of the Romans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wenceslaus succeeded his father in both roles: Charles IV had been elected Holy Roman King and, in the expected course of things, crowned Holy Roman Emperor by the Pope, but Wenceslaus never received the imperial coronation, but was deposed; the Bohemian title came to Wenceslaus by inheritance as Charles's son.
As King Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia, until his death in 1419, he came into repeated conflict with the nobility, and sought to protect the religious reformer Jan Hus and his followers against the demands of the established Church for their suppression as heretics.
This caused many Germans to leave the University of Prague, and set up their own University at Leipzig.Hus was executed in Constance in 1415, and the rest of Wenceslaus's reign in Bohemia featured precursors of the Hussite Wars that would follow his death.

1419, Prague), German king and, as Wenceslas IV, king of Bohemia, whose weak and tempestuous, though eventful, reign was continually plagued by wars and princely rivalries that he was unable to control, plunging his territories into a state of virtual anarchy until he was stripped of his powers altogether by a rebellious nobility.
Son of the Holy Roman emperor Charles IV, Wenceslas was crowned king of Bohemia in 1363 and king of the Romans in 1376, proving a largely incompetent ruler after his father's death in 1378.
He was a peace-loving man and held frequent diets in Germany from 1378 to 1389, but he could not prevent the continuing wars between town leagues and princes that reduced Germany to anarchy for almost a decade.

When the news of the death of the king of the Romans has been received at Mainz, within one month from the date of receiving it the archbishop of Mainz shall send notices of the death and of the approaching election to all the electoral princes.
But if the archbishop neglects or refuses to send such notices, the electoral princes are commanded on their fidelity to assemble on their own motion and without summons at the city of Frankfort within three months from the death of the emperor, for the purpose of electing a king of the Romans and future emperor.
After the electors have taken this oath, they shall proceed to the election, and shall not depart from Frankfort until the majority have elected a king of the Romans and future emperor, to be ruler of the world and of the Christian people.

 Romans 6:15 (King James Version) :: Forerunner Commentary :: Bible Tools   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
Paul personifies the law as the instrument that points the finger of condemnation at each of us: "I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died" (Romans 7:9).
The phrase "under the law" is also used in Romans 3:19; I Corinthians 9:20-21; Galatians 3:23; 4:4-5; 4:21; 4:18.
Therefore, if a person persists in sin following his forgiveness, he is trampling "the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified [as] a common thing, and insult[ing] the Spirit of grace" (Hebrews 10:29).

 Romans Chapter 6
Romans 6:10 should be connected with Romans 8:3, where the death of Christ is said to have "condemned sin in the flesh." "Sins" the fruit are forgiven (notice the plural "sins" in Acts 10:43; 2:38; 3:19; Luke 24:47; etc.), but "sin" the nature is condemned (not forgiven).
Romans 3:28--Salvation is by faith and not of works, and this fact must be counted on by every person who is truly justified.
In the context of Romans 6:13 it has the idea of a slave standing beside his master ready to do whatever he wants (the word literally means "to stand beside"); at his disposal, ready to do his bidding.
