Isaiah 4:2-6
Christian Standard Bible
Zion’s Future Glory
2 On that day the Branch[a] of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious,(A) and the fruit of the land(B) will be the pride and glory(C) of Israel’s survivors.(D) 3 Whoever remains in Zion and whoever is left in Jerusalem(E) will be called holy(F)—all in Jerusalem written in the book of life[b](G)— 4 when the Lord has washed away the filth(H) of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodguilt(I) from the heart of Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment(J) and a spirit of burning.(K) 5 Then the Lord will create(L) a cloud of smoke by day(M) and a glowing flame of fire by night over the entire site of Mount Zion and over its assemblies. For there will be a canopy over all the glory,[c] 6 and there will be a shelter for shade from heat by day and a refuge and shelter from storm and rain.(N)

Romans 6:1-11

The New Life in Christ
6 What should we say then?(A) Should we continue in sin so that grace may multiply?(B) 2 Absolutely not!(C) How can we who died to sin(D) still live in it? 3 Or are you unaware that all of us who were baptized(E) into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?(F) 4 Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death,(G) in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead(H) by the glory of the Father,(I) so we too may walk in newness[a] of life.(J) 5 For if we have been united with him in the likeness of his death,(K) we will certainly also be[b] in the likeness of his resurrection. 6 For we know that our old self[c](L) was crucified with him(M) so that the body ruled by sin[d] might be rendered powerless(N) so that we may no longer be enslaved to sin, 7 since a person who has died(O) is freed[e] from sin. 8 Now if we died with Christ,(P) we believe that we will also live with him, 9 because we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead,(Q) will not die again. Death no longer rules over him.(R) 10 For the death he died, he died to sin once for all time; but the life he lives, he lives to God. 11 So, you too consider yourselves dead to sin(S) and alive to God in Christ Jesus.[f]
