Mark,
everything is clear now.

Most commentators seem to think that 6:14b supports 6:14a, rather than
both clauses support 6:13 directly. Isn't that what BDAG says concerning
Rom 6:14?

> Even though
> they are not under Law, defined as righteous ones of Law, they are defined
> as righteous ones under grace. Of course so too are righteous ones under
> Law, for Law is a gift demonstrating God's lovingkindness so that those of
> Law belong to righteousness, not sin.

> Is not the point that whether under

> likewise obliged to live to God rather than sin, just like those under Law
> are?

This makes a perfect sense.
