Philippians 2:12-13 (Amplified Bible)
12Therefore, my dear ones, as you have always obeyed [my
suggestions], so now, not only [with the enthusiasm you
would show] in my presence but much more because I am absent,
work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete)
your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling
(self-distrust, [a]with serious caution, tenderness of conscience,
watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from
whatever might offend God and discredit the name of Christ).
13[Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the
while [a]effectually at work in you [energizing and creating
in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for
His good pleasure and satisfaction and [b]delight.
Romans 12:2 (Amplified Bible)
2Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned
after and adapted to its external, superficial customs],
but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of
your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that
you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable
and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and
acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].
Ephesians 4:22-32 (Amplified Bible)
22Strip yourselves of your former nature [put off and discard
your old unrenewed self] which characterized your previous
manner of life and becomes corrupt through lusts and desires
that spring from delusion;
23And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having
a fresh mental and spiritual attitude],
24And put on the new nature (the regenerate self) created
in God's image, [Godlike] in true let your wrath (your exasperation,
your fury or indignation) last until the sun goes down righteousness
and holiness.
25Therefore, rejecting all falsity and being done now with
it, let everyone express the truth with his neighbor, for
we are all parts of one body and members one of another.
26When angry, do not sin; do not ever let your wrath (your
exasperation, your fury or indignation) last until the sun
goes down.
27Leave no [such] room or foothold for the devil [give no
opportunity to him].
28Let the thief steal no more, but rather let him be industrious,
making an honest living with his own hands, so that he may
be able to give to those in need.
29Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome
or worthless talk [ever] come out of your mouth, but only
such [speech] as is good and beneficial to the spiritual
progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion,
that it may be a blessing and give grace (God's favor) to
those who hear it.
30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God [do not offend
or vex or sadden Him], by Whom you were sealed (marked,
branded as God's own, secured) for the day of redemption
(of final deliverance through Christ from evil and the consequences
of sin).
31Let all bitterness and indignation and wrath (passion,
rage, bad temper) and resentment (anger, animosity) and
quarreling (brawling, clamor, contention) and slander (evil-speaking,
abusive or blasphemous language) be banished from you, with
all malice (spite, ill will, or baseness of any kind).
32And become useful and helpful and kind to one another,
tenderhearted (compassionate, understanding, loving-hearted),
forgiving one another [readily and freely], as God in Christ
forgave you.
