Reminder...



Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

Therefore we were buried
with Him
through baptism
into death,

that just as Christ was raised
from the dead
by the glory
of the Father,

even so
we also should walk
in newness
of life.

For if we have been united together
in the likeness
of His death, certainly

we also shall be
in the likeness
of His resurrection,

knowing this,
that our old man was crucified
with Him,

that the body of sin
might be done away with,

that we should no longer be slaves
of sin.

For he who has died
has been freed
from sin.

Now if we died
with Christ,

we believe
that we shall also live
with Him,

knowing
that Christ,
having been raised
from the dead,
dies no more.

Death no longer has dominion over Him.

For the death that He died,
He died to sin
once for all;

but the life that He lives,

He lives to God.

Likewise you also,
reckon yourselves
to be dead indeed
to sin,

but alive
to God
in Christ Jesus
our Lord.

Romans 6:3-11 Baroque
