agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of
The Living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in
them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith The Lord, and
touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
18 And will be
a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters, saith The
Lord Almighty.

29 He giveth
power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth
strength.
30 Even the
youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly
fall:
31 But they
that wait upon The Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount
up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they
shall walk, and not faint.

2 Don’t copy
the behavior and customs of this world,
but let God
transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then
you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and
pleasing and perfect.
