Key verses
I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek.
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.
Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
