To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
(c) Water baptism does not produce "newness of life, " the result claimed for- the baptism in verse 4: "We are buried therefore with him through baptism * * * so we also might walk in NEWNESS OF LIFE. " Water baptism has no esential relation whatever to such a change in a man's moral condition. (d) If the passage is so literal that a burial in water is taught by it, then how about the thought when the apostle changes the figure, verse 6? "Knowing this, that our old man was CRUCIFIED * * * so we... should no longer be in bondage . To sin. " Is not a literal crucifixion taught as much as a literal burial? (e) The ancient Hebrews usually buried by putting the body away laterally or sidewise into a tomb. They laid it usually upon a shelf in a burial chamber. It is probable that Paul had no thought of our modern way of burial, and what he said did not refer to a submersion in water. (f) When we consider that Paul by all his figures of language was trying to teach newness of life, how forcible is his saying if we translate the word "baptism" by the Scriptural term PURIFICATION, which expresses its meaning: "BURIED WITH HIM BY PURIFICATION;" that is, to possess holiness in him, laying away our sins as he laid away his mortality.
