Romans 6:4-6
New Catholic Bible
4 Through that baptism into his death we were buried with him, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father,[a] so we too might begin to live a new life.
5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall also be united with him in his resurrection. 6 We know that our old[b] self was crucified with him, so that our sinful body might be destroyed and we might no longer be enslaved to sin.

- Romans 6:4 Glory of the Father: God who reveals his power and holiness.
- Romans 6:6 The adjective old has a precise meaning for Paul: it describes the reality of a sinful world that is closed against the new life that has its source in Christ (see 1 Cor 5:7-8; 2 Cor 3:14); the old self and the sinful body signify the human being as marked by sin (Gal 3:26-29).
