Colossians 3:3, 7, 9-10

For you died [to this world], and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.

and in these [sinful things] you also once walked, when you were habitually living in them [without the knowledge of Christ].

Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new [spiritual] self who is being continually renewed in true knowledge in the image of Him who created the new self— [Gen 1:26]
