Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world. The spirit of the world is
opposed to that of Christ. Satan is "the Prince of this world
(John 12:31 14:30 16:11). Christ died "to deliver us from this
present wicked world" (Galatians 1:4). Hence the service of Christ
renders necessary a refusal to fashion ourselves after its ways.
But be ye transformed. Instead of following the ways of the world,
the Christian must be "transformed", changed into a new form of life
by the renewing of your mind, by having a new spirit, and "walking
after the Spirit" (Romans 8:1 Ga 5:16,25).
That ye may prove. Demonstrate, show forth. The saint, transformed,
renewed, will show forth in his life "the will of God".
