" Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world , but be transformed by the renewing of your mind . " Romans 12:2 ( niv )
不要效法这个世界,只要心意更新而变化。(罗马书12:2)
" Therefore , since we have been made right in god 's sight by faith , we have peace with god because of what jesus christ our lord has done for us . " ( Romans 5:1 nlt )
“我们既因信称义,就借着我们的主耶稣基督,得与神相和。”(罗马书5:1)
The word of god teaches that what is know about god is evident to all because he has made himself known in the inner consciousness of mankind ( see romans 1 : 19 - 21 ) .
And when the bible says " be made new in the attitude of your mind " ( ephesians 4:23 niv ) and " be transformed by the renewing of your mind " ( romans 12:2 niv ) , god is reminding us that every behavior starts with a thought .
