“But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.”
No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins — the positive statement of the principle: the new wine of the kingdom requires the new wineskins of the kingdom community. The new forms are not yet specified — that is the work of the Acts narrative. But the principle is clear: the kingdom's arrival requires new containers, new structures, new community forms.
