“Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.”
And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses — deadness (nekros) in trespasses (paraptōma, falls short, offenses) is the pre-conversion state. 'Uncircumcision of your flesh' marks them as outside covenant. 'Made alive together' (synopoioō) is resurrection-participation. 'Forgiven all trespasses' (charizō) is grace-gift: debts are released. Forgiveness is God's prior act enabling resurrection-life.
