1) Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship.
2) And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you]. (Romans 12:1-2) amplified version
I am so thankful, so blessed, and so grateful the by the mercies of God, I am able to present my body [dedicating all of myself; set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is my rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship.
I am so thankful, so blessed, and so grateful that I do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but I am transformed and progressively changed [as I mature spiritually] by the renewing of my mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that I may prove [for myself] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for me].
