“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”
