"  Therefore, I urge you,  brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice,  holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.   2  Do not conform  to the pattern of this world,  but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is —his good, pleasing  and perfect will."

"Blessed is the one      who does not walk  in step with the wicked or stand in the way  that sinners take      or sit  in the company of mockers, 2  but whose delight  is in the law of the  Lord ,      and who meditates  on his law day and night. 3  That person is like a tree  planted by streams  of water,      which yields its fruit  in season and whose leaf  does not wither—      whatever they do prospers. 4  Not so the wicked!      They are like chaff      that the wind blows away. 5  Therefore the wicked will not stand  in the judgment,      nor sinners in the assembly  of the righteous. 6  For the  Lord  watches over  the way of the righteous,      but the way of the wicked leads to destruction."...

Since everything belongs to you, we can claim nothing as our own and give freely to our neighbors.
