6:11 Following the strong warning of 6:9-10, Paul reaffirms his confidence in the genuineness of his readers’ conversion. • you were cleansed (cp. Acts 22:16): Cleanliness is a metaphor for the righteousness that comes from forgiveness (see Titus 3:5). They were made holy by God himself (see 1 Cor 1:2). • They were made right with God by their identification with the Lord Jesus Christ and by the transforming work of the Spirit of our God. God has forgiven them and views them as righteous (see Rom 1:17; 3:21-26), and their lives have really been changed for the good (see Titus 3:5-7).
