9 Do not speak falsehoods to one another, for you have stripped off the old self with its doings,
10 and have clothed yourselves with the new self which is being remoulded into full knowledge so as to become like Him who created it.
5 Then He who was seated on the throne said, »I am re-creating all things.« And He added, »Write down these words, for they are trustworthy and true.«
4 It is by means of these that He has granted us His precious and wondrous promises, in order that through them you may, one and all, become sharers in the very nature of God, having completely escaped the corruption which exists in the world through earthly cravings.
4 Well, then, we by our baptism were buried with Him in death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from among the dead by the Father's glorious power, we also should live an entirely new life.
5 For since we have become one with Him by sharing in His death, we shall also be one with Him by sharing in His resurrection.
6 This we know–that our old self was nailed to the cross with Him, in order that our sinful nature might be deprived of its power, so that we should no longer be the slaves of sin;
7 for he who has paid the penalty of death stands absolved from his sin.
20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me; and the life which I now live in the body I live through faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself up to death on my behalf.
22 to put away, in regard to your former mode of life, your original evil nature which is doomed to perish as befits its misleading impulses,
23 and to get yourselves renewed in the temper of your minds and clothe yourselves
24 with that new and better self which has been created to resemble God in the righteousness and holiness which come from the truth.
17 So that if any one is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old state of things has passed away; a new state of things has come into existence.
10 For we are God's own handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works which He has pre-destined us to practise.
3 »In most solemn truth I tell you,« answered Jesus, »that unless a man is born anew he cannot see the Kingdom of God.«
15 For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any importance; but only a renewed nature.
