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

Notes

We were therefore buried with Christ: The Christian's power over sin and ability to lead a new life come from union with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection (see 6:5, 8). From God's perspective, because Jesus died to sin, Christians have as well (see 6:10). The resurrection of Jesus means we also start a new life, and in the future, our bodies will also be raised.
