...admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, that we may present every man complete in Christ ... until we all attain to … the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fulness of Christ.

Therefore, we counsel every one to:

put off the old man,

be renewed in the spirit of [his] mind,

And put on the new man.

...for [he has] been crucified with Christ and it is no longer [he] who lives, but Christ lives in [him],
