But he was silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

To all in Rome who are beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

For we know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.

So you also, consider yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
