Verses 12-17
2. Things to put on 3:12-17
Paul urged his readers not only to divest themselves of behavior that is inappropriate to their union with Christ but also to clothe themselves with attitudes and actions that are appropriate. He did so to complete their understanding of their responsibilities as Christians.
"The emphasis in this section is on motives. Why should we put off the old deeds and put on the qualities of the new life? Paul explained four motives that ought to encourage us to walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4)." [Note: Wiersbe, 2:137.]
". . . I have written a message on this passage of Scripture, and I have called it, ’What the Well-Dressed Christian Will Wear This Year.’" [Note: McGee, 5:358.]
