2 No! We died to our old sinful lives. So how can we continue living with sin?

3 Did you forget that all of us became part of Christ when we were baptized? We shared his death in our baptism.

4 So when we were baptized, we were buried with Christ and shared his death. We were buried with him so that we could live a new life, just as Christ was raised from death by the wonderful power of the Father.
