And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Romans 12:1-2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e☦️\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHere is a way put forth by which we can perform our \"rational worship\"[or \"reasonable service\" in some translations]: by not being \"conformed to this world.\"\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eFor there is nothing firm and secure, but all things are temporary and have only a \u003cstrong\u003eform\u003c\/strong\u003e [σχῆμα, schema], with no substance or abiding essence. \"Do not be like this unsubstantial world.\" That is, \"Do not think like it does, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,\" that is, \"Constantly renewing yourselves.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHave you sinned?

But he calls virtue being \"transformed,\" since it has a natural beauty and has no need of outer \u003cstrong\u003eappearance\u003c\/strong\u003e [schema] and adornment. For the world takes on an appearance [schema] to deceive us, but virtue shows its \u003cstrong\u003etrue form\u003c\/strong\u003e [μορφή, morphe], without false appearances [schema]. Thus, we must be transformed according to virtue, being renewed from evil to good, and from lesser virtue to greater.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e+ Blessed Theophylact of Bulgaria,
