¹⁷ Therefore if anyone is ^(A)in Christ, this person is ^(B)a new ^[a]creation; ^(C)the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

¹⁵ For ^(A)neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a ^(B)new ^[a]creation.

²³ and that you are to be ^(A)renewed in the spirit of your minds, ²⁴ and to ^(B)put on the ^(C)new ^[a]self, which ^[b](D)in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

⁵³ For this ^[a]perishable must put on ^[b](A)the imperishable, and this ^(B)mortal must put on immortality.

⁴ Therefore we have been ^(A)buried with Him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was ^(B)raised from the dead through the ^(C)glory of the Father, so we too may walk in ^(D)newness of life.
