Paul, in his letter to fellow Christians at Colossae, put it this way: “Strip off the old personality with its practices, and clothe yourselves with the new personality, which through accurate knowledge is being made new according to the image of the One who created it. ”
Oma kirjas kaaskristlastele Kolossas selgitas Paulus seda nii: „Te olete endid lahti riietanud vanast inimesest [„ isiksusest ”, NW] tema tegudega, ja olete riietunud uude inimesse [„isiksusse ”, NW], kes on uuendatud õigesti tunnetama oma Looja kuju järgi. ”
