In the third Verse he layeth down that Union by Faith which all justified persons have with the Lord Jesus: and from this he inferreth a communion with him, and a conformity unto him. But in what? In his death, and in his resurrection: If we have been planted together (saith he, v. 5.) in the likeness of his death, (mark, not in the same death, but in the likeness thereof) we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection. Where the ⟨p. 56⟩Apostle declareth, that like as there was in Christ a bodily death, and a bodily resurrection; so there is in all those, in whom Christ is, a death of the body of sin, and a resurrection in regard of the life of righteousness. This the Apostle plainly and largely proveth in that place.
