2Cor 5:14-21, Gal 3:26-27, Eph 4:22-32, Col 3:3-8, Tit 3:3-5 | ESV | STEP | For the love of Christ controls us , because we have concluded this : that one has died for all , therefore all have died ;

14 For the love of Christ ^acontrols us, because we have concluded this: that ^bone has died for all, therefore all have died; 15 and he died for all, ^cthat those who live might no longer live for themselves but ^dfor him who for their sake died and was raised.

16 From now on, therefore, ^ewe regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is ^fin Christ, he is ^ga new creation. ^{▼▼Or creature} ⁱThe old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, ^jwho through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us ^kthe ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling ^{▼▼Or God was in Christ, reconciling} the world to himself, ^mnot counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us ⁿthe message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, ^owe are ambassadors for Christ, ^pGod making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 ^qFor our sake he made him to be sin ^rwho knew no sin, so that in him we might become ^sthe righteousness of God.

Galatians 3:26-27

26 for in Christ Jesus ^tyou are all sons of God, through faith. 27 For as many of you as ^uwere baptized ^vinto Christ have ^wput on Christ.

Ephesians 4:22-32

22 to ^xput off ^yyour old self, ^{▼▼Greek man; also verse 24} which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through ^aadeceitful desires, 23 and ^abto be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on ^acthe new self, ^adcreated after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

25 Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you ^aespeak the truth with his neighbor, for ^afwe are members one of another. 26 ^agBe angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and ^ahgive no opportunity to the devil. 28 Let the thief no longer steal, but rather ^ailet him labor, ^ajdoing honest work with his own hands, so ^akthat he may have something to share with anyone in need. 29 ^alLet no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give ^amgrace to those who hear. 30 And ^ando not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, ^aoby whom you were sealed for the day of ^apredemption. 31 ^aqLet all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 ^arBe kind to one another, tenderhearted, ^asforgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Colossians 3:3-8

3 For ^atyou have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ ^auwho is your ^{▼▼Some manuscripts our} life ^awappears, then you also will appear with him ^axin glory.

5 ^ayPut to death therefore ^azwhat is earthly in you: ^{▼▼Greek therefore your members that are on the earth} ^bbsexual immorality, impurity, ^bcpassion, evil desire, and covetousness, ^bdwhich is idolatry. 6 ^beOn account of these the wrath of God is coming. ^{▼▼Some manuscripts add upon the sons of disobedience} 7 ^bgIn these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now ^bhyou must put them all away: ^bianger, wrath, malice, ^bjslander, and obscene talk from your mouth.

Titus 3:3-5

3 For ^bkwe ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. 4 But when ^blthe goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, ^bmnot because of works done by us in righteousness, but ^bnaccording to his own mercy, by ^bothe washing of regeneration and ^bprenewal of the Holy Spirit,
