Question 97

Section 5: The third Part is of Man’s Thankfulness

1. a. Romans 6:4–6; Ephesians 4:22–24; Colossians 3:5,8–10; 1 Corinthians 5:7; 2 Corinthians 7:11

   Romans 6:4–6

   ^6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. ^6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: ^6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

   ^6:4 We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life. ^6:5 For if we have been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be united with Him in His resurrection. ^6:6 We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

   Ephesians 4:22–24

   ^4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; ^4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; ^4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

   ^4:22 to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; ^4:23 to be renewed in the spirit of your minds; ^4:24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

   Colossians 3:5; Colossians 3:8–10

   ^3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: ^3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. ^3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; ^3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

   ^3:5 Put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry. ^3:8 But now you must put aside all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. ^3:9 Do not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices, ^3:10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

   1 Corinthians 5:7

   ^5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

   ^5:7 Get rid of the old leaven, that you may be a new unleavened batch, as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

   2 Corinthians 7:11

   ^7:11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

   ^7:11 Consider what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what vindication! In every way you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.
