On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

And so great is the change the grace of God makes in the soul, that, as it follows, old things are passed away --old thoughts, old principles, and old practices, are passed away; and all these things must become new. Note, Regenerating grace creates a new world in the soul; all things are new.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Therefore--connected with the words in 2Co 5:16, "We know Christ no more after the flesh." As Christ has entered on His new heavenly life by His resurrection and ascension, so all who are "in Christ" (that is, united to Him by faith as the branch is In the vine) are new creatures (Ro 6:9-11).
