Colossians 2:12
Compare all
10 and you are complete in Him, who is the ahead of all principality and power.  

Not Legalism but Christ

11 In Him you were also acircumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by bputting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,  
12 aburied with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through bfaith in the working of God, cwho raised Him from the dead.  
13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,
14 ahaving wiped out the1 handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.  
15 aHaving disarmed bprincipalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

Colossians 2:12

Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism. See PNT "Ro 6:4". Paul teaches that we must re-enact the tragedy of the cross: The agony of the garden, the complete submission to the divine will, confession of Christ, crucifixion (Galatians 2:20 Ro 6:5), death (Romans 6:3), burial (Romans 6:4 Col 2:12), rising with Christ (Romans 6:5 Col 2:12 3:1); nay, we must ascend and reign with him (Ephesians 2:4-6). Let it be noted that "the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh" (Colossians 2:11) is associated with baptism ( 1:13). Wherein also ye are risen with [him]. "Raised with him" (Revised Version). We are raised from the burial as he was raised from the grave, and we rise to a new life "through faith of the operation of God".
