3:10 new self. In Christ, God’s second Adam (1 Cor. 15:20–28, 45–49), the human race is reconstituted. Each of the attributes Paul lists in v. 12 can be traced to the character of God generally, or to Christ specifically. This demonstrates how literally Paul understood the idea of believers taking on the “image” of their Creator. See “The Image of God” at Gen. 1:27.
