{{cquote|How glorious a change does [[grace]] make! It changes the vilest of men into [[saints]] and the children of God. Such were some of you, but you are not what you were. You are washed, you are sanctified, you are justified in the name of Christ, and by the [[Spirit of our God]]. Note, The wickedness of men before [[conversion]] is no bar to their regeneration and reconciliation to God. The blood of Christ, and the washing of [[regeneration]], can purge away all guilt and defilement. Here is a rhetorical change of the natural order: You are sanctified, you are justified. [[Sanctification]] is mentioned before justification: and yet the name of Christ, by which we are justified, is placed before the Spirit of God, by whom we are sanctified. Our justification is owing to the merit of Christ; our sanctification to the operation of the [[Spirit]]: but both go together.<ref>http://blueletterbible.org/Comm/mhc/1Cr/1Cr006.html</ref>}}
