Living Sacrifices

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.

Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth.

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

…you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.

Be imitators of God, therefore, as beloved children,

…and walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant sacrificial offering to God.

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
