⁹ Do not make false statements to one another; because you have put away the old man with all his doings,

¹⁰ And have put on the new man, which has become new in knowledge after the image of his maker;

¹¹ Where there is no Greek or Jew, no one with circumcision or without circumcision, no division between nations, no servant or free man: but Christ is all and in all.

⁵ And he who is seated on the high seat said, See, I make all things new. And he said, Put it in the book; for these words are certain and true.

⁴ We have been placed with him among the dead through baptism into death: so that as Christ came again from the dead by the glory of the Father, we, in the same way, might be living in new life.

⁵ For, if we have been made like him in his death, we will, in the same way, be like him in his coming to life again;

⁶ Being conscious that our old man was put to death on the cross with him, so that the body of sin might be put away, and we might no longer be servants to sin.

⁷ Because he who is dead is free from sin.

⁸ But if we are dead with Christ, we have faith that we will be living with him;

⁴ And through this he has given us the hope of great rewards highly to be valued; so that by them we might have our part in God's being, and be made free from the destruction which is in the world through the desires of the flesh.

¹⁹ And I will give them a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in them; and I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh:

²⁰ So that they may be guided by my rules and keep my orders and do them: and they will be to me a people, and I will be to them a God.

²¹ But as for those whose heart goes after their hated and disgusting things, I will send on their heads the punishment of their ways, says the Lord.

²⁰ I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me.

²² That you are to put away, in relation to your earlier way of life, the old man, which has become evil by love of deceit;

²³ And be made new in the spirit of your mind,

²⁴ And put on the new man, to which God has given life, in righteousness and a true and holy way of living.

²⁵ And so, putting away false words, let everyone say what is true to his neighbour: for we are parts one of another.

¹⁸ Give no thought to the things which are past; let the early times go out of your minds.

¹⁹ See, I am doing a new thing; now it is starting; will you not take note of it? I will even make a way in the waste land, and rivers in the dry country.

²⁰ The beasts of the field will give me honour, the jackals and the ostriches: because I send out waters in the waste land, and rivers in the dry country, to give drink to the people whom I have taken for myself:

¹⁵ For having circumcision is nothing, and not having circumcision is nothing, but only a new order of existence.

³ Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you, Without a new birth no man is able to see the kingdom of God.

¹⁰ For by his act we were given existence in Christ Jesus to do those good works which God before made ready for us so that we might do them.

¹⁷ So if any man is in Christ, he is in a new world: the old things have come to an end; they have truly become new.
