Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
