Text: Galatians 3:26-29 "For ye
are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27. For as many of
you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28. There is
neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male
nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29. And if ye be Christ's,
then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."

[sonship], whereby we cry, Abba, Father."

not moved away from the hope of the gospel,"

for one’s self] Christ."
Romans
6:3-4 "Know ye not, that so many of us as
were baptized into [Christ Jesus, word order]
Jesus Christ were baptized into his death [thanatos]?
4. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death (death
of my will): 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."
Romans
6:11 "Likewise reckon [present
middle] ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive
[present active] unto God through [Christ Jesus, word order]
Jesus Christ our Lord."
Ephesians
4:22-29 "That ye put off
concerning the former conversation the old man, which is
corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23. And be renewed in
the spirit of your mind; 24. And that ye put on the
new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
25. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man
truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. 26. Be ye angry,
and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 27. Neither
give place to the devil. 28. Let him that stole steal no more: but
rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good,
that he may have to give to him that needeth. 29. Let no corrupt
communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of
edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."
Philippians
2:5-9 "Let this mind be in you, which
was also in Christ Jesus: 6. Who, being in the form of God, thought it
not robbery to be equal with God: 7. But made himself of no reputation,
and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of
men: 8. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself,
and became obedient unto death (thanatos in the garden),
even [also] the death of the cross. 9. Wherefore God also hath
highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:"
Romans
13:11-14 "And that, knowing the time, that now it
is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer
than when we believed. 12. The night is far spent, the day is at hand:
let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour
of light. 13. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and
drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for
the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof."
Galatians
3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there
is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all
one in Christ Jesus."
Colossians
3:10-14 "And have put on [middle
voice] the new man, which is renewed [present
passive] in knowledge [deeper knowledge] after the image of
him that created him: 11. Where there is neither Greek nor Jew,
circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but
Christ is all, and in all. 12. Put on therefore, as the
elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness
of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13. Forbearing
one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel
against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14. And
above all these things put on charity [love], which is the
bond of perfectness."
Galatians
3:29 "And if ye be [of] Christ's,
then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."
Galatians 4:1-3 "Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child,
differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2. But is
under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. 3. Even
so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
Galatians 4:4-6 "But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth
his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5. To redeem them (children)
that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption
[sonship] of sons. 6. And because ye (that have put on Christ)
are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba,
Father."
