²⁴ But God raised him up, having released him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for him to be held in its power.^(A)

⁴ Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.^(A)

⁵ For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.
