Notes

to put on the new self: God's Spirit shows his life within the believer (see Colossians 3:10; compare Genesis 1:26; Romans 12:1–2; Galatians 5:22–23). The transforming work of God's Spirit is part of the gift of salvation (Ephesians 2:8–10).

What you learned about Christ is the truth that comes from him. He gives true understanding (compare John 14:6). He calls his people to a completely new way of life (compare Romans 6:3–14; 13:12–14; Colossians 3:8–10).

Paul gives believers specific guidelines for living a new life in Christ.
