         Paul’s Letter To The Romans

1 - What shall we say then? Should we continue in sin so grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How can we who died to sin still live in it? {Captured by it.} 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus, were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried with him, by our baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. {Under the water, representing our dying to self, and raised up out of the water, as into newness of life and being.}

     5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 We know that our - old - self was crucified with him in order that the tendency to sin might be broken, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For one who has died {in this way} has been set free from sin.
