Truth, Lies & UBF’s
Romans 12 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual[a] act of worship. 2
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed (from what - to what?) by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
