Small Catechism 4
FLAME, Mashell
What does such baptizing with water signify?
Answer: it signifies that the old
Adam in us should
By daily contrition and repentance
Be drowned and die with all
Sins and evil lust and, again
A new man daily come forth and arise
Who shall live before God in
Righteousness and purity forever
Where is this written?
Answer: Saint Paul says, Romans chapter 6
"We are buried with Christ
By baptism into death
That, like as He was raised up from the
Dead by the glory of the Father
Even so we also should walk
In newnеss of life"
