Galatians Chapter 6, Verse 15
From BibleWiki
15: εν γαρ χριστω ιησου ουτε περιτομη τι ισχυει ουτε ακροβυστια αλλα καινη κτισις
15: For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing,
nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
15: For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor
uncircumcision: but a new creature.
For in Christ Jesus. In his religion. See "Gal 5:6".
But a new creature. The fact that a man is created anew, or born again constitutes the real difference between him and other men. This is what Christ requires; this is the distinction which he designs to make. It is not by conformity to certain rites and customs that a man is to be accepted; it is not by elevated rank, or by wealth, or beauty, or blood; it is not by the colour of the complexion; but the grand inquiry is, whether a man is born again, and is in fact a new creature in Christ Jesus. See "2Cor 5:17, for an explanation of the phrase "a new creature."
