AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you]. |
Subject: "Be ye in the world but not of it."? |
Bible Note: Here is what I think I remember about that phrase. Last night, as I searched in vain for a Bible verse that said "in the world, not of the world," something occurred to me. I think maybe years ago, I read a heading in a study Bible (not part of the text) that said "In the world, but not of the world." I, too, thought that exact phrase was in the text of the Bible, but I sure couldn't find it. |
