“In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:”
And in him you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead — 'Raised with him' (synegeireō) is mystical union: believers participate in Christ's resurrection. 'Through faith' (dia tēs pisteōs) emphasizes faith as access to resurrection-power. 'Power of God, who raised him from the dead' (dynamis tou Theou ton egeiratos auton) shows God's power raised Christ and raises believers. Present tense mysticism meets eschatological hope: resurrection is both achieved and awaited.
