1 Peter 1:13-15
(13)
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and
hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
(14) As obedient children,
not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
(15) But
as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
This word here “fashion” = one other place, “be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind”.
Conformed = matching the pattern of something else, not you. transformed = You become diff.
He's telling us to don't let our minds get formed into the pattern that goes with our former lusts.
(12) Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
Hebrews 12:11-13
(11) Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward
it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
(12) Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
(13) And
make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
This passage very interestingly seems to speak directly to this issue.
Much love!
