Shining a light on the weekly Bible Lessons published in the Christian Science Quarterly®
Mortals and Immortals
Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.
—New Living Translation
“Put on” is translated from the Greek verb endyō, meaning to clothe oneself in or to wear—here, applied symbolically to taking on characteristics, virtues, and intentions. Later it appears in the counsel, “Put on the whole armour of God” (6:11), as well as in the statement “Ye have . . . put on the new man” and the charge “Put on . . . bowels of mercies” (Colossians 3:9, 10, 12, Responsive Reading).
