Then you will be able to discern what is the will of God __ what is good and acceptable and perfect.

CONFORM DO NOT CONFORM ANY MORE TO THE PATTERN OF THIS WORLD TO CONFORM= TO TAKE THE FORM; TO BE SHAPED

CONFORM DO NOT CONFORM ANY MORE TO THE PATTERN OF THIS WORLD The world has a pattern, a format designed by the prince of the darkness

2 Corinthians 4:3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

Ephesians 2:1-2 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.

Ephesians 2:3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the desires of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of God’s wrath

1 Peter 1:13-16 Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just ashe who called is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”

BE TRANSFORMED BUT BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND. We are transformed by the grace and power of God and His Word that cleanses us.
