3 Do you not know that all of us *who have been baptized *into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were *buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as *Christ was raised from the dead by *the glory of the Father, we too might walk in *newness of life.

5 For *if we have been united with him in *a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 We know that *our old self**was crucified with him in order that *the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For *one who has died *has been set free* from sin.

11 So you also must consider yourselves *dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

17 Therefore, if anyone is *in Christ, he is *a new creation.**The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

20 I have been *crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives *in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, *who loved me and *gave himself for me.

11 *Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave,* free; but Christ is *all, and in all.

22 to *put off *your old self,* which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through *deceitful desires, 23 and *to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on *the new self, *created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

8 But now *you must put them all away: *anger, wrath, malice, *slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9 *Do not lie to one another, seeing that *you have put off *the old self* with its practices 10 and *have put on *the new self, *which is being renewed in knowledge *after the image of *its creator.

9 *If we confess our sins, he is *faithful and just to forgive us our sins and *to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 *Create in me a *clean heart, O God,

and *renew a right* spirit within me.

11 *Cast me not away from your presence,

and take not *your Holy Spirit from me.

12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation,

and uphold me with a willing spirit.

25 *I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from *all your uncleannesses, and *from all your idols *I will cleanse you. 26 And I will give you *a new heart, and *a new spirit I will put within you. *And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 *And I will put my Spirit within you, *and cause you to walk in my statutes and *be careful to obey my rules.*

3 among whom we all once lived in *the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the flesh and the mind, and *were by nature *children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.*4 But* God, being *rich in mercy, *because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even *when we were dead in our trespasses, *made us alive together with Christ—*by grace you have been saved—
