Creating copy of org.docx4j.wml.P;

In my project one of the requirement is to extract group of P's(call it block). I want to repeat this block n number of times in output document. P in the block contains some dynamic data which changes block by block.

I want to make copies of original P's so that I can add dynamic data into them and prepare a block. 

P newP= Context.getWmlObjectFactory().createP();
newP = oldP;

However here, creating P and assigning old P to it assigns only reference of old P. How can I create a new P which will be similar to old P & still independent of it?
