1 Corinthians 6:11

And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

'And such were some of you' -'And these are just the characters some of you used to be.' (Wms)

Proof positive, that even very addictive sinful lifestyles. can be quit for God.. clean break from sin can be made.

'washed..sanctified..justified' -All three happened in the action of submitting to baptism. Washed- Acts 22:16; Ephesians 5:26; Titus 3:5; Hebrews 10:22; Sanctified-by coming into contact with the blood of Christ (Romans 6:3; Hebrews 10:29); Justified, by being forgiven- Romans 4:6; Acts 2:38.

'in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ' -by His authority (Matthew 28:19-20; 1 Corinthians 10:48)

'in the Spirit of our God' -in harmony with or due to the revelation given by the Spirit.
