Putting off Carnal Characteristics
(From Forerunner Commentary)

2 Corinthians 7:1  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) "Let us cleanse ourselves" includes two aspects. First, the negative side involves putting off the carnal characteristics of the kind mentioned in Galatians 5:19-21, the works of the flesh. Second, there is the positive side of putting on godly characteristics, such as judgment, mercy, and faith (which, out of our Savior's own mouth in Matthew 23:23, are weighty matters of law). John W. Ritenbaugh The Covenants, Grace and Law (Part 16)
