Romans 12:1-2

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 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.

(not) conformed:
- (don't) be the same or similar to
- (don't) be in accord or agreement
- (don't)  behave in a conventional way, esp. in accepting without question customs, traditions, prevailing opinions

transformed:
- changed

renew:
- making new again by replacing the old (replace ways of the world with ways of God)
