Buttmann, § 132, 23)) τῆς ἀναστάσεως ἐσόμεθα, if we have become united with the likeness of his death (which likeness consists in the fact that in the death of Christ our former corruption and wickedness has been slain and been buried in Christ's tomb), i. e. if it is part and parcel of the very nature of a genuine Christian to be utterly dead to sin, we shall be united also with the likeness of his resurrection i. e. our intimate fellowship with his return to life will show itself in a new life consecrated to God, Romans 6:5.

σύνσωμος is found in the NT only in Ephesians 3:6, and may have been coined by Paul for the occasion. The word is usually understood as ";fellow-member of the body,"; i.e. of the Church, but, as Preuschen has pointed out (ZNTW i. (1900), p. 85 f.), it cannot then be associated with the following gen. τῆς ἐπαγγελίας, nor is there any real sequence of thought in the three epithets συνκληρονόμα —σύνσωμα —συνμέτοχα. Accordingly, taking σῶμα in its sense of ";slave"; (see s.v.), he thinks that we have a term equivalent to σύνδουλος (Colossians 1:7, al.), and that the meaning is that ";the Gentiles are fellow-heirs and fellow-slaves, and so fellow-partakers of the promise.";
