1 Peter 4:2

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,

Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;

and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

Don’t love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.

If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.

This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.

by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

Therefore I consider all of your precepts to be right. I hate every false way.

Cast away from you all your transgressions, in which you have transgressed; and make yourself a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, house of Israel?

Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”

But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father—

For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,

who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

Don’t be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.

By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

I have longed for your salvation, Yahweh. Your law is my delight.

The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.

For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.

Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Yahweh in ceasing to pray for you: but I will instruct you in the good and the right way.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience.

Through him, then, let’s offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim allegiance to his name.

How I love your law! It is my meditation all day.

“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.

I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me.

I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

For I delight in God’s law after the inward man,

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.

having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,

The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

He said, “Naked I came out of my mother’s womb, and naked will I return there. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be Yahweh’s name.”

Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.

Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

For whoever does the will of God is my brother, my sister, and mother.”

Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.

for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men?

He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

We also all once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

“ ‘No meal offering which you shall offer to Yahweh shall be made with yeast; for you shall burn no yeast, nor any honey, as an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.

But they, like Adam, have broken the covenant. They were unfaithful to me, there.

Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.

For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,

who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?

Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might produce fruit to God.

For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good.

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

Therefore let’s keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,

Therefore don’t be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.

For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.

make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Of his own will he gave birth to us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,

Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,

The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever.

These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts—and their mouth speaks proud things—showing respect of persons to gain advantage.
