2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! — the ktisis (creation) language echoes Genesis 1. In-Christ-ness means being a new creature (kainos); the old order is passed (parelythe), the new inaugurated (ginen). This is not moral improvement but ontological transformation.
