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.

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on the things above, not on things that are on earth.

And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

I protest, brethren, by my pride in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die every day.

More than that, I count everything to be loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christthe righteousness that comes from God and is by faith, that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming like him in his death;

Blessed be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has caused us to be born again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.
