*1.* “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” *2.* “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” “3.* “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” *4.* “To put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.”
