καὶ ὑμᾶς, νεκροὺς ὄντας ἐν τοῖς παραπτώμασι καὶ τῇ ἀκροβυστίᾳ τῆς σαρκὸς ὑμῶν, συνεζωοποίησε σὺν αὐτῷ, χαρισάμενος ὑμῖν πάντα τὰ παραπτώματα,

Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5.

he further shows they had no need of circumcision in the flesh, Eph 2:11, having all in Christ for justification as well as sanctification, though they (as well as the Ephesians, see Eph 2:1,5) were by nature spiritually dead in sins, deprived of the life of grace, and separated from the life of glory.
and having the foreskin of their flesh in paganism; which was true literally, but, considering the internal circumcision, Col 2:11, the apostle’s expression here is to be expounded of the internal corruption of our nature, the uncircumcised heart, original corruption derived unto all by carnal propagation, which is predominant in the unregenerate. These being dead as to the life of grace, Mat 8:22 Joh 5:25 Rom 8:7 1Co 2:14 1Ti 5:6.

having freely pardoned to you (the word noting a free affection to give and forgive, 2Co 2:10 Eph 4:32) all your sins, after as well as before baptism, which is the sign and seal of it, Psa 103:3; so that the Spirit of Christ doth not only infuse a principle of grace, and implant a living and abiding seed to work out vicious habits, but God, upon the account of Christ’s plenary satisfaction, doth freely remove all the guilt that binds over to eternal death, and doth not impute to believers any of their sins in whole or in part, but treateth them as if they had committed none at all, Mat 26:28 Act 10:43 Eph 1:7 Heb 9:15, and will remember them no more, so that when they are sought for they shall not be found, Jer 31:34 50:20 Heb 10:17. What the papists say of the fault being remitted, when the punishment may be exacted either in whole or in part, that they may have a pretence for human satisfactions, (the groundlessness of which was hinted, Col 1:24), is a mere figment of the schools, against Scripture and reason.
