3 This is good and pleasing in the eyes of God our Saviour;
Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the order of God our Saviour and Christ Jesus our hope;
Give the word, put forward your cause, let us have a discussion together: who has given news of this in the past? who made it clear in early times? did not I, the Lord? and there is no God but me; a true God and a saviour; there is no other.
For this reason I make request to you, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you will give your bodies as a living offering, holy, pleasing to God, which is the worship it is right for you to give him. And let not your behaviour be like that of this world, but be changed and made new in mind, so that by experience you may have knowledge of the good and pleasing and complete purpose of God.
(Because the fruit of the light is in all righteousness and in everything which is good and true), Testing by experience what is well-pleasing to the Lord;
Being full of the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Living uprightly in the approval of the Lord, giving fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
And last of all, the prayer which we make to you from our heart and in the name of the Lord Jesus, is this: that as we made clear to you what sort of behaviour is pleasing to God, as in fact you are doing now, so you will go on in these ways, but more and more.
But go on doing good and giving to others, because God is well-pleased with such offerings.
You, as living stones, are being made into a house of the spirit, a holy order of priests, making those offerings of the spirit which are pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.
