Tertullian · c. A.D. 150–220
Rom 6:3 · Douay-Rheims
“Know you not that all we, who are baptized in Christ Jesus, are baptized in his death?”
On this verse:
“But some think as if God were under a necessity of bestowing even on the unworthy, what He has engaged (to give); and they turn His liberality into slavery. But if it is of necessity that God grants us the symbol of death, then He does so unwilling.”
