I tell you the truth. A grain of wheat must fall to the ground and die. Then it grows and makes many seeds. But if it never dies, then it will always be only a single seed.
When you were baptized, {\cf2\super [10]} \{your old self died and\} you were buried with Christ. And in that baptism {\cf2\super [11]} you were raised up with Christ because of your faith in God’s power. God’s power was shown when he raised Christ from death.
