Perhaps our generous and knowledgeable resident
scripture
scholar, Jerry Walsh might help us out a bit and
check out
what greek word St. Paul or his surrogate used,
that gets
translated as "old man" as in Romans
6:5:
"Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with
him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should
not serve sin"
I just picked the first translation that came
up;
I believe it was kjv.
Thanks,
Peter
