Baptism into one death; Word suffered willingly in flesh

“Or do you not know that as many as we were baptized into Christ Jesus, we were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the Father’s glory, so we also might walk in newness of life.” Our Lord Jesus Christ, having spoiled Hades and released the multitude of spirits shut in those recesses, lived again on the third day. Then he said to the holy disciples: “Going, make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” So we are baptized, just as into one name of the Father, so also into one name of the Son and into his death and into the Holy Spirit.

Therefore let those who divide the one Christ and Son into two sons—and say a human was joined to God by dignity-equality alone, the natures being divided—teach into whose death we were baptized. If privately into that of the God-Word, we will clearly accuse the undefiled nature of corruption; but if they should say it is that of the one from woman thought privately and by parts and by himself, how do they not say openly that he would altogether be ranked with the Father and the Holy Spirit? So it is necessary to think that the Word of God, having become as we are, suffered willingly in flesh. For we have been baptized into his death.
