Romans 6:3-9

A reading from the letter of Paul to the Romans

Are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised
from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life. If, then, we have
died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. We know that Christ, raised from
the dead, dies no more; death no longer has power over him.
