Romans 6:3-6:6 3. Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4. 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. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

2 Corinthians 1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
as consequent upon the former he had by winning of Christ, he doth here insist upon sanctification, which would result from faith’s exerting itself in a further saving, experimental knowledge of Christ, to be found in whom, he undervalued all besides coniformity to Christ in holiness, being to have communion with him in righteousness, 1Co 1:30; God having appointed those who are found in Christ, to be conformed to his image in holiness, Rom 8:29 2Co 3:18. This saving knowledge is expressed elsewhere in Scripture by the senses, Joh 10:4 2Co 2:14 4:6 Eph 1:18 1Pe 2:3. All and only those found in Christ, do so know him, Joh 5:20 6:46,69 Heb 8:11; and desire so to know him, Php 1:9, that they may have a lively sense of his power, communion, and conformity.
the power of his resurrection in us; i.e. from the death of the soul, under a privation of spiritual life, and the image of God, unto newness of life, by the effectual working of the same Spirit which raised Christ himself from the dead, Rom 6:4,10 Eph 1:20 2:5,6; called the first resurrection, Rev 20:5; when the soul is raised from under the dominion of sin where it lay.
by communion of Christ’s sufferings, is not meant of bearing a part in the merit of his personal sufferings, but of being partaker of his sufferings in his members, or mystical body, whether inward or outward, (though this chiefly), Mat 20:23 Act 9:4 Rom 8:17 2Co 1:7 4:10,11 Ga 5:24 Col 1:24 2Ti 2:11,12.
some read, while made conformable to his death, not only in dying to sin, Rom 6:5,6, but in being conformed to his image in suffering, Rom 8:29; dying daily, or always living ready to be delivered to death for Jesus’ sake upon his call, Rom 8:18 2Co 4:11. Such was his Christian temper, that he could cheerfully go through sufferings by reason of some communion and conformity he had in them with Jesus Christ.
