1. First factor is our contact with people. Second is the uncleanness of our birth. Third is our leprous condition. Forth is our discharge with its uncleanness and contagion.
2. Whatever issues from man's natural life, whether good or bad, is filthy.
3. The uncleanness of the issue of man's natural life should be ended (death) that there might be a new beginning (resurrection).
4. We need the cross of Christ, the resurrection of Christ, and the Holy Spirit as the water of life in the word of God.
5. As fallen, corrupted people, we need to be broken.
6. Man living by his natural life needs not only the redemption of Christ to deal with his sinful nature, but also the life of Christ that he may live for God.
7. If we stay in Christ's death, resurrection, Spirit, life, and word, we shall have a proper Christian life and church life.
