2 Corinthians 5: 16, 17(AMP)
16 Consequently, from now on we estimate and regard no one from a [purely] human point of view [in terms of natural standards of value]. [No] even though we once did estimate Christ from a human viewpoint and as a man, yet now [we have such knowledge of Him that] we know Him no longer [in terms of the flesh].
17 Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!

o a new kind and quality, unprecedented, novel, uncommon, unheard of.
o new in kind and in contrast to what previously existed, so taking the place thereof.
o it is superior to what it succeeds.
