Colossians 2:12

Buried with him in baptism.

See PNT Ro 6:4. Paul teaches that we must re-enact the tragedy of the cross: The agony of the garden, the complete submission to the divine will, confession of Christ, crucifixion (Ga 2:20 Ro 6:5), death (Ro 6:3), burial (Ro 6:4 Col 2:12), rising with Christ (Ro 6:5 Col 2:12 3:1); nay, we must ascend and reign with him (Eph 2:4-6). Let it be noted that "the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh" (Col 2:11) is associated with baptism (2:13).

Wherein also ye are risen with [him]. "Raised with him" (Revised Version). We are raised from the burial as he was raised from the grave, and we rise to a new life "through faith of the operation of God".
