Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.



16-17You realize, don't you, that you are the temple of God, and God himself is present in you? No one will get by with vandalizing God's temple, you can be sure of that. God's temple is sacred—and you remember, are the temple.



“Speak to the people of Israel, saying, These are the living things that you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.


But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
