⁶ Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such ^(A)the second death has no power, but they shall be ^(B)priests of God and of Christ, ^(C)and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

Not Legalism but Christ

¹¹ In Him you were also ^(A)circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by ^(B)putting off the body ^[a]of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, ^12 (C)buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through ^(D)faith in the working of God, ^(E)who raised Him from the dead.

⁴ Therefore we were ^(A)buried with Him through baptism into death, that ^(B)just as Christ was raised from the dead by ^(C)the glory of the Father, ^(D)even so we also should walk in newness of life.
