Note:
This is the

rendering of

, “to implant”; the
RV
has “implanted.”¶ The metaphor is that of a seed rooting

,
Rom. 6:5, “planted together” (
$
, “with”).¶ The
KJV
“engrafted” would translate the
word
$ $

$ $
, “to graft”), which is not found in the NT; it uses
in Rom. 11. Cf.
$
, “to cause to grow out, put forth” (leaves), Matt.
24:32; Mark 13:28.
