<p>3:11 <i>Where there cannot be Gentile and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, freeman- but Christ is all and in all</i>- In the &quot;new man&quot; whom we have &quot;put on&quot;, i.e. Christ, &quot;there cannot be Greek and Jew&quot; etc (Col. 3:11 RV). But we have to do something in order to bring this about- mere baptism isn't enough. Paul continues: &quot;Put on therefore... a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, patience&quot; (Col. 3:12). If we are &quot;in Christ&quot;, there &quot;cannot be&quot; division in that body- if there is, from our perspective, then surely we are proclaiming ourselves to be not of that body. But in order to actualize being &quot;in Christ&quot;, we have to therefore show kindness, humility, patience etc. in order that there will not be division. We have to live out in practice the status which we have been given at baptism, of being &quot;in&quot; the undivided, indivisible Christ. &quot;Christ is created in all who believe and in all places of the world&quot; (Col. 3:11 Bullinger). It is the common experience of this new creation which binds us together as one body and spiritual nation world-wide. </p>
