5 The one sitting on the throne said,"See, I am making all things new!" He said,"Write this: ‘These words are trustworthy and true.’"
4 Therefore, through baptism we were buried with him into his death so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father's glory, we too may live an entirely new life.
5 For if we have become united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.
6 We know that our old selves were crucified with him so that our sinful bodies might be rendered powerless and we might no longer be slaves to sin.
7 For the person who has died has been freed from sin.
4 Through these he has given us his precious and wonderful promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, seeing that you have escaped the corruption that is in the world caused by evil desires.
20 I no longer live, but Christ lives in me, and the life that I now live in the flesh I live by the faithfulness of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
3 Jesus replied to him,"Truly, truly I tell you, unless a person is born from abovehe cannot see the kingdom of God."
10 For we are his masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared long ago to be our way of life.
22 Regarding your former way of life, you were taught to strip off your old man, which is being ruined by its deceptive desires,
23 to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,
24 and to clothe yourselves with the new man, which was created according to the likeness of God in righteousness and true holiness.
9 Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old man with its practices
10 and have clothed yourselves with the new man, which is being renewed into full knowledge according to the image of the one who created it.
15 For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision matters. Rather, what matters is being a new creation.
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have disappeared, and—look!—all things have become new!
