¹⁴Yet truly, Jesus said to them: “Allow the little children to come to me, and do not choose to prohibit them. For the kingdom of heaven is among such as these.”

¹⁶Whoever will have believed and been baptized will be saved. Yet truly, whoever will not have believed will be condemned.

¹³And they brought to him the little children, so that he might touch them. But the disciples admonished those who brought them. ¹⁴But when Jesus saw this, he took offense, and he said to them: “Allow the little ones to come to me, and do not prohibit them. For of such as these is the kingdom of God. ¹⁵Amen I say to you, whoever will not accept the kingdom of God like a little child, will not enter into it.” ¹⁶And embracing them, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.

³⁸Yet truly, Peter said to them: “Do penance; and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁸Yet truly, Peter said to them: “Do penance; and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹For the Promise is for you and for your sons, and for all who are far away: for whomever the Lord our God will have called.”

³³And he, taking them in the same hour of the night, washed their scourges. And he was baptized, and next his entire household.

¹⁶And now, why do you delay? Rise up, and be baptized, and wash away your sins, by invoking his name.’

¹⁸For Christ also died once for our sins, the Just One on behalf of the unjust, so that he might offer us to God, having died, certainly, in the flesh, but having been enlivened by the Spirit. ¹⁹And in the Spirit, he preached to those who were in prison, going to those souls ²⁰who had been unbelieving in past times, while they waited for the patience of God, as in the days of Noah, when the ark was being built. In that ark, a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water. ²¹And now you also are saved, in a similar manner, by baptism, not by the testimony of sordid flesh, but by the examination of a good conscience in God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. ²²He is at the right hand of God, devouring death, so that we may be made heirs to eternal life. And since he has journeyed to heaven, the Angels and powers and virtues are subject to him.

⁴For through baptism we have been buried with him into death, so that, in the manner that Christ rose from the dead, by the glory of the Father, so may we also walk in the newness of life.

³⁶And while they were going along the way, they arrived at a certain water source. And the eunuch said: “There is water. What would prevent me from being baptized?” ³⁷Then Philip said, “If you believe from your whole heart, it is permitted.” And he responded by saying, “I believe the Son of God to be Jesus the Christ.” ³⁸And he ordered the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch descended into the water. And he baptized him.

¹⁹Therefore, go forth and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

³⁹For the Promise is for you and for your sons, and for all who are far away: for whomever the Lord our God will have called.”

⁷For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sinfulness did my mother conceive me.

³Do you not know that those of us who have been baptized in Christ Jesus have been baptized into his death?

⁸For by grace, you have been saved through faith. And this is not of yourselves, for it is a gift of God.

¹⁵And he said to them: “Go forth to the whole world and preach the Gospel to every creature. ¹⁶Whoever will have believed and been baptized will be saved. Yet truly, whoever will not have believed will be condemned.
