3 And do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
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.
11 In the same way you also must regard yourselves as dead in relation to sin, but as alive in relation to God, because you are in Christ Jesus.
3 Among them all of us also formerly passed our lives, governed by the inclinations of our lower natures, indulging the cravings of those natures and of our own thoughts, and were in our original state deserving of anger like all others.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the intense love which He bestowed on us,
5 caused us, dead though we were through our offences, to live with Christ –it is by grace that you have been saved–
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.
9 If we confess our sins, He is so faithful and just that He forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
8 But now you must rid yourselves of every kind of sin –angry and passionate outbreaks, ill-will, evil speaking, foul-mouthed abuse– so that these may never soil your lips.
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.
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.
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.
11 In that new creation there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free man, but Christ is everything and is in all of us.
