Or do you not know that all of us who have been (A)baptized into (B)Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been (C)buried with Him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was (D)raised from the dead through the (E)glory of the Father, so we too may walk in (F)newness of life. For (G)if we have become [a]united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be [b]in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our (H)old [c]self was (I)crucified with Him, in order that our (J)body of sin might be [d]done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; for (K)the one who has died is [e]freed from sin.
