¹² having been buried with him in baptism, wherein ye were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

³ Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

⁴ We were buried therefore with him through baptism unto death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

⁵ For if we have become united with `him' in the likeness of his death, we shall be also `in the likeness' of his resurrection;

²¹ which also after a true likeness doth now save you, `even' baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ;

⁵ one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

²⁴ but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

²⁴ whom God raised up, having loosed the pangs of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

²⁷ For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ.

¹⁹ and what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might

²⁰ which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly `places',

⁴ but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

⁵ even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),

⁶ and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly `places', in Christ Jesus:

⁸ for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, `it is' the gift of God;

¹⁷ that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

¹ If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.

² Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.

¹⁶ Be not deceived, my beloved brethren.

¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning.

²⁰ Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, `even' our Lord Jesus,

²¹ make you perfect in every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom `be' the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

² looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of `our' faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

² of the teaching of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

⁴ Wherefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye should be joined to another, `even' to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit unto God.

¹³ For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.

²⁰ But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.

⁷ whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.

¹⁴ Wherefore `he' saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.

²⁹ because to you it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf:

⁵ not by works `done' in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

⁶ which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

¹ Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

² that ye no longer should live the rest of your time in flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

³ For the time past may suffice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walked in lasciviousness, lusts, winebibbings, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatries:

⁸ But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;

⁹ knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death no more hath dominion over him.

¹⁰ For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

¹¹ Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.

²⁷ And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith unto the Gentiles.

³ Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

⁴ Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

⁵ Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God!

⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

⁷ Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born anew.

¹² But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, `even' to them that believe on his name:

¹³ who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

⁵ And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
