of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your
spiritual service of worship. 2And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by
the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good
and acceptable and perfect.”
