Romans 6:3-8

International Children’s Bible

³ Did you forget that all of us became part of Christ when we were baptized? We shared his death in our baptism. ⁴ So when we were baptized, we were buried with Christ and shared his death. We were buried with him so that we could live a new life, just as Christ was raised from death by the wonderful power of the Father.

⁵ Christ died, and we have been joined with Christ by dying too. So we will also be joined with him by rising from death as he did. ⁶ We know that our old life died with Christ on the cross. This was so that our sinful selves would have no power over us, and we would not be slaves to sin. ⁷ Anyone who has died is made free from sin’s control.

⁸ If we died with Christ, we know that we will also live with him.
