3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and Christ Jesus our hope;
Declare ye, and bring `it' forth; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath showed this from ancient time? who hath declared it of old? have not I, Jehovah? and there is no God else besides me, a just God and a Saviour; there is none besides me.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, `which is' your spiritual service. And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, and ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
(for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth), proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord;
being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
to walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Finally then, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as ye received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, even as ye do walk, --that ye abound more and more.
But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
