Romans 12 vs 2 in Yoruba
ROMU 12:2 YCE
Ẹ má ṣe da ara yín pọ̀ mọ́ ayé yìí. Kàkà bẹ́ẹ̀, ńṣe ni kí ẹ para dà, kí ọkàn yín di titun, kí ẹ lè mòye ohun tí ó jẹ́ ìfẹ́ Ọlọrun, tí ó dára, tí ó yẹ, tí ó sì pé.
Key: There are systems in the world by which men live. However, as believers, even though we are in this we must not walk according to the systems of the world but according to the system of God; we do not belong to this world (I have given them your word. And the world hates them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. John 17:14).
This we can do by submitting ourselves to God and let Him, through the Holy Spirit transform us to live a life that focuses on godly values and all that pertains to His kingdom. And thereafter will we be able to know His will for us and walk in it.
Prayer: Oh Lord, I surrender myself to you, please transform my life and you use me for your glory.
