“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds”

He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places . . . He destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace that he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart.

Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of those who mutilate the flesh!

If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

We were by nature children of wrath, even as others.

The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband. And in like manner the husband also hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant; later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

If God is for us, who can be against us?

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy, for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.

For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

In everything give thanks

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain

Hope does not disappoint.

If what the heart approves conforms to proper patterns, then even if one’s desires are many, what harm would they be to good order?

The young always have the same problem – how to rebel and conform at the same time. They have now solved this by defying their parents and copying one another.

Once conform, once do what others do because they do it, and a kind of lethargy steals over all the finer senses of the soul.

In a world where we are forced to conform to society, it is necessary to have personal chaos

Whatever you do, be happy with you. Don’t conform. You are who you are, and you shouldn’t change that for anybody.

lf. I wasn’t going to try too hard to conform, and I knew that it could possibly not work out.

Conforming is not cool. Embracing who you are and what makes you different is actually what’s really cool.

We need more people speaking out. This country is not overrun with rebels and free thinkers. It’s overrun with sheep and conformists.
