…all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death. We therefore were buried with him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life… For anyone who has died has been freed from sin. So also you, consider yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.
The fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the end is eternal life — the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 3:1-14, 6:11,22,23
