"Likewise you also, reckon
yourselves to be dead indeed to sin,
but alive to God in Christ
Jesus our Lord." -Romans
6:11
"In Him you were also
circumcised with the circumcision made without hands,
by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh,
by the
circumcision of
Christ,
buried with Him in
baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through
faith in the working
of God, who raised Him from the dead."
-Colossians 2:11-12
