3 for this `is' right and acceptable before God our Saviour,
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to a command of God our Saviour, and of the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
Declare ye, and bring near, Yea, they take counsel together, Who hath proclaimed this from of old? From that time hath declared it? Is it not I -- Jehovah? And there is no other god besides Me, A God righteous and saving, there is none save Me.
I call upon you, therefore, brethren, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a sacrifice -- living, sanctified, acceptable to God -- your intelligent service; and be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what `is' the will of God -- the good, and acceptable, and perfect.
for the fruit of the Spirit `is' in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth, proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord,
being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that `is' through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
to your walking worthily of the Lord to all pleasing, in every good work being fruitful, and increasing to the knowledge of God,
As to the rest, then, brethren, we request you, and call upon you in the Lord Jesus, as ye did receive from us how it behoveth you to walk and to please God, that ye may abound the more,
and of doing good, and of fellowship, be not forgetful, for with such sacrifices God is well-pleased.
and ye yourselves, as living stones, are built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
