18 And we all, with unveiled face, ^tbeholding ^uthe glory of the Lord,^{1 v}are being transformed into the same image ^wfrom one degree of glory to another.² For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

17 Therefore, if anyone is ⁱin Christ, he is ^ja new creation.^{1 k}The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

5 Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. ^vTest yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that ^wJesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!
