English Standard Version

We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

Romans 6:4

You have been buried with Christ in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.

Colossians 2:12

Romans 6 (English Standard Version)

1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?
2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?
3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.
6 We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.
7 For one who has died has been set free from sin.

Colossians 2 (English Standard Version)

9 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily,
10 and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.
11 In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,
12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.
13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.
15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.

You were buried with Christ in baptism, and you were raised with him through your trust in what God did by raising him from the dead.

Colossians 2:12

Romans 6 (Free Bible Version)

1 So what's our response? Should we continue to sin so we can have even more grace?
2 Of course not! Since we're already dead to sin, how can we continue to live in sin?
3 Don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 Through baptism we were buried with him in death so that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father we too can live a new life.
5 If we've become one with him in dying like he did, then we'll be raised like him too.
6 We know that our old self was crucified with him to dispose of the dead body of sin so that we wouldn't be enslaved by sin any longer.
7 Anyone who has died has been set free from sin.

Colossians 2 (Free Bible Version)

9 For the fullness of God's divine nature lives in Christ in bodily form,
10 and you have been made full in him. He is supreme over every ruler and authority.
11 You were “circumcised” in him but not by human hands. You have been set free from sinful human nature by the “circumcision” Christ performed.
12 You were buried with him in baptism, and you were raised with him through your trust in what God did by raising him from the dead.
13 And even though you were dead because of your sins and being physically “uncircumcised,” he brought you to life together with him. He has forgiven us all our sins.
14 He wiped out the record of our debts according to the Law that was written down against us; he took away this barrier by nailing it to the cross.
15 He stripped away the power of spiritual rulers and authorities, and having publicly revealed what they were truly like, he led them captive behind him in victory.
