'Altogether' in the Bible

For this was my purpose in writing, to see if you would stand the test, whether you are obedient and committed to following my instruction in all things.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].
