Faith in Christ through baptism is the kingdom of God, which began from the preaching of John, who pointed out Christ. The ones who force are those who renounce idolatry and the old custom (Matthew 11:12).

Greek

Ἡ εἰς Χριστὸν πίστις διὰ τοῦ βαπτίσματος ἡ τοῦ θεοῦ βασιλεία ἐστίν, ἥτις ἤρξατο ἀπὸ τοῦ κηρύγματος Ἰωάννου τοῦ ὑποδεικνύντος τὸν Χριστόν. οἱ δὲ βιαζόμενοί εἰσιν οἱ τῇ εἰδωλολατρίᾳ ἀποταττόμενοι καὶ τῷ παλαιῷ ἔθει.
