Thayer's Greek Lexicon

συνθάπτω: 2 aorist passive συνετάφην; from Aeschylus and Herodotus down; to bury together with: τῷ Χριστῷ, together with Christ, passive, διά τοῦ βαπτίσματος εἰς τόν θάνατον namely, αὐτοῦ, Rom_6:4; ἐν τῷ βαπτίσματι, Col_2:12. For all who in the rite of baptism are plunged under the water thereby declare that they put faith in the expiatory death of Christ for the pardon of their past sins; therefore Paul likens baptism to a burial by which the former sinfulness is buried, i. e. utterly taken away.
