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.

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.

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.

that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

I will also appoint him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.

Surely he has borne our sickness and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

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.

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.

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.

Having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

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.

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.”

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,

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.

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

But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.

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

The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.

He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.

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.

For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Isn’t it he who sits at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

because the mind of the flesh is hostile toward God; for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.

seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

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.

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.

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.

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

who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;

Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever! Amen.

Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.’

Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

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.

and tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,

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.

knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,

Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit,

And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—

They sang a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals: for you were killed, and bought us for God with your blood out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,

“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered, nor come into mind.

He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.

He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age;

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?
