³ Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into union with the Messiah^[a] Jesus were baptized into his death? ⁴ Therefore, through baptism we were buried with him into his death so that, just as the Messiah^[b] was raised from the dead by the Father’s glory, we too may live an entirely new life. ⁵ For if we have become united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.
