11 Dahil sa pakikipag-isa kay Cristo, kayo'y tinuli hindi sa laman kundi sa pagwawaksi ng masamang hilig ng laman. Ito ang pagtutuling mula kay Cristo. 12 Sa pamamagitan ng bautismo, nailibing kayong kasama ni Cristo at muli rin kayong nabuhay na kasama niya dahil sa inyong pananalig sa kapangyarihan ng Diyos na muling bumuhay sa kanya.
