^31 (A)Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a ^(B)new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O house of Israel? ³² For ^(C)I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord God. “Therefore turn and ^(D)live!”

²⁶ I will give you a ^(A)new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

² And ^(A)do not be conformed to this world, but ^(B)be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may ^(C)prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the ^(A)Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and ^(B)I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

¹³ till we all come to the unity of the faith ^(A)and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to ^(B)a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

² And ^(A)do not be conformed to this world, but ^(B)be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may ^(C)prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

¹⁶ For ^(A)“who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” ^(B)But we have the mind of Christ.

The Humbled and Exalted Christ

^5 (A)Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
