Rm12:1Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship. 2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will. - NIV
1Jhn1:5This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you:
God
is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6If we claim to have
fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the
truth. 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have
fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from
all sin. 8If we claim to be without sin, we
deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our
sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from
all unrighteousness. 10If we claim we have not sinned, we make him
out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives. - NIV
1Pet1:13Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled;
set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. 14As
obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in
ignorance. 15But just as he who called you is
holy, so be holy in all you do; 16for
it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."
17Since you call on a Father who judges each
man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear. 18For
you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you
were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your
forefathers, 19but with the precious blood of
Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 20He
was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last
times for your sake. 21Through him you believe
in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and
hope are in God. - NIV
1Pet2:1So put away [rid yourselves of] all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all
slander. 2Like newborn infants, long for
[crave] the pure spiritual milk,
that by it you may grow up to [in your] salvation-- 3if
indeed [now that] you have tasted
that the Lord is good. - ESV
