Study Note
'And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness' — the clothing metaphor of 'putting on' the new man (kainon anthrōpon) draws on both baptismal imagery (Galatians 3:27) and the Adam-Christ typology, where the 'new man' is the restored Adamic humanity recreated in the image of the Creator (Colossians 3:10). The specific attributes — righteousness and holiness of truth — are not human achievements but the ontological character of the new nature itself, a nature that the believer appropriates through progressive transformation. The verse is central in Christian ethics for grounding moral exhortation in prior indicative statements about identity: 'be what you are' rather than 'achieve what you are not.'
