AT LEAST THE FINAL PART IS IN PLAIN ENGLISH: "Baptism and the New World" | Peter J. Leithart | First Things

"...Baptism is neither a supplement to or symbol of
faith but "baptism sanctifies faith, setting it apart

are 'Jews by nature' as well as "sinners among the
Gentiles' . . . that their time under the pedagogical
function of the law . . . and stoicheia tou kosmou . . .
has come to an end in the baptismal dawning of the
messianic age" (47-8)..."
