And put on the new man which after God is created in righteousness, and true holiness. Eph. 2. 1. And you, hath he quickened, that were dead in trespasses and sins. Gal. 2. 20. Thus I live, yet not I now, but Christ in me: and in that I now live by the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who hath loved me, and given himself for me. Rom. 8.23.
