Romans 12:1,2
1. Therefore, 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.
2. Do 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.
Psalms 1
1. Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of
the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of
mockers.
2. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he
meditates day and night.
3. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields
its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he
does prospers.
4. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows
away.
5. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor
sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6. For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the
way of the wicked will perish.
Colossians 3:16
16. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
1 Timothy 4:6,7
6. If you point these things out to the brothers, you
will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, brought up in the truths
of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed.
7. Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales;
rather, train yourself to be godly.
2 Timothy 3:16,17
16. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for
teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
17. so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every
good work.
