WHY THERE IS NO QUOTATIONNo quotations. The published work is in copyright, so these positions are paraphrased rather than reproduced.
11 In Him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of your sinful nature, with the circumcision performed by Christ and not by human hands. 12 And having been buried with Him in baptism, you were raised with Him through your faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.
