Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,

that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,

Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.

Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”

How I love your law! It is my meditation all day.

Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

For I delight in God’s law after the inward man,

having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;

Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
