³ Do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?^{(A) 4} Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.^(B)

⁸ But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. ⁹ We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.^{(A) 10} The death he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life he lives, he lives to God.^{(B) 11} So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.^(C)
