Lye not one to an other, seyng that ye haue put of the old man with his workes, and haue put on the newe man whiche is renued into the knowledge and image of him, that made him, where is neither Gentile nor Iewe, circumcision nor vncircumcision, Bar∣barus or Sithian, bonde or free, but Christ is all in all thing.
Christ is trueth selfe, it is not mete that ye beyng his membres should lye one to an other of you. And to be briefe, synce ye haue put on Christ, put of all the old yearthly man, with al his workes & desyres, and put on a new mā whiche wyl neuer be olde, but by reason that in him the know∣ledge of God dayly more and more encreaseth, florisheth and buddeth vp into better and greater, after the image of Christ, which beyng a new mā him selfe, builded in vs a new man, extinguishyng the olde. For as many of vs as are planted into Christes bodye, are so farre gone from that we were, as though we were newe made againe, in somuche that now no dif¦ference is there betwixt Gentile and Iewe, betwixte the circumcised and vncircumcised, betwixte the wylde Scithian, and the Grecian and man of Athens, nor yet betwixt the free and the bonde. Among menne suche differences are passed vpon, but before God there is of suche thynges no regarde, but Christ whiche is indifferently comen to all, onely geueth al thinges to al men. Christ is to ye bondman, fredome, to the poore man ry∣ches, to the wylde and barbarous, ciuilitie, to the vncircumcised, circum∣cision. And to be briefe, through him among you are all thinges made equal, because none should disdaine other.
