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 into 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; 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin...

5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loveth us, and loosed us from our sins by His blood...

16 And now why tarriest thou? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on His name.
