By being baptized, we have been joined with him in a death like his. So we will certainly also be joined with him in a resurrection like his.

我们若在他死的形状上与他联合，也要在他复活的形状上与他联合；

我们若与他合一，经历与他一样的死，也将经历与他一样的复活。

我們若藉着他死的樣子得以接種在他身上，也必藉着他復活的樣子而得接種。

就是說，如果我們在基督死的樣式上與他聯合，也將要在他復活的形式上與他聯合。

蓋我儕若於其死狀與之聯合、則將於其復起也亦然、

然我儕效其死、亦將效其生、

我儕若效其死狀、亦必效其復活、

蓋吾人既克肖其死、亦宜克肖其復活也。

I want to know Christ better. Yes, I want to know the power that raised him from the dead. I want to join him in his sufferings. I want to become like him by sharing in his death.Then by God’s grace I will rise from the dead.

We always carry around the death of Jesus in our bodies. In that way, the life of Jesus can be shown in our bodies.

You have been raised up with Christ. So think about things that are in heaven. That is where Christ is. He is sitting at God’s right hand.

When you were baptized, you were buried together with Christ. And you were raised to life together with him when you were baptized. You were raised to life by believing in God’s work. God himself raised Jesus from the dead.

He dug up the soil and removed its stones. He planted the very best vines in it. He built a lookout tower there. He also cut out a winepress for it. Then he kept looking for a crop of good grapes. But the vineyard produced only bad fruit.

Jesus replied,“ They are plants that my Father in heaven has not planted. They will be pulled up by the roots.

You were like a good vine when I planted you. You were a healthy plant. Then how did you turn against me? How did you become a bad, wild vine?

We died with Christ. So we believe that we will also live with him.We know that Christ was raised from the dead and will never die again. Death doesn’t control him anymore.When he died, he died once and for all time. He did this to break the power of sin. Now that he lives, he lives in the power of God.In the same way, consider yourselves to be dead as far as sin is concerned. Now you believe in Christ Jesus. So consider yourselves to be alive as far as God is concerned.So don’t let sin rule your body, which is going to die. Don’t obey its evil desires.

So he gave us new life because of what Christ has done. He gave us life even when we were dead in sin. God’s grace has saved you.God raised us up with Christ. He has seated us with him in his heavenly kingdom. That’s because we belong to Christ Jesus.

“ I am the true vine. My Father is the gardener.He cuts off every branch joined to me that does not bear fruit. He trims every branch that does bear fruit. Then it will bear even more fruit.You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.Remain joined to me, just as I also remain joined to you. No branch can bear fruit by itself. It must remain joined to the vine. In the same way, you can’t bear fruit unless you remain joined to me.“ I am the vine. You are the branches. If you remain joined to me, and I to you, you will bear a lot of fruit. You can’t do anything without me.If you don’t remain joined to me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and dries up. Branches like those are picked up. They are thrown into the fire and burned.If you remain joined to me and my words remain in you, ask for anything you wish. And it will be done for you.When you bear a lot of fruit, it brings glory to my Father. It shows that you are my disciples.

Their roots will be firm in the house of the Lord. They will grow strong and healthy in the courtyards of our God.

What I’m about to tell you is true. Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only one seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
