Romans 6:3

New King James Version

³Or do you not know that ^(A)as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus ^(B)were baptized into His death?

Romans 6:3

New American Standard Bible

³Or do you not know that all of us who have been ^(A)baptized into ^(B)Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?

³Or are you ignorant of the fact that all of us who have been ^[a]baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

Romans 6:3 “Baptize” is a transliteration of the Greek word baptizo, which means to submerge an object into liquid. In this passage Christ becomes the liquid, metaphorically, and those who are baptized into Him remain in Him forever and benefit from His experiences, including His death. The best news is that Jesus was resurrected, so believers will also experience resurrection (those who are alive when Christ returns will experience a physical transformation). But even now believers experience a kind of resurrection in that they live new lives (as Paul says, “walk in newness of life”) in a wonderful new relationship with God and their fellow believers.
