Finally then, brethren, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you receive from us instruction as to how you ought to walk and please God (just as you actually do walk), that you excel still more. For you know what commandments we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality… - (Putting on Christ in your mind)
Romans 12:1-3
Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. For through the grace given me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgement, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. - Romans 6:1-23
…Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ have been baptized into His death? Therfore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory
of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that the old body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; for he who has died with Christ is freed from sin… - (Putting on Christ in your memory)

Romans 13:1-14
Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God…Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of God’s wrath, but also for conscience sake…Render to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. - Romans 14:1-23
…Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgement on his opinions…Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind…For not one of us lives for himself, and not one of us dies for himself…whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. - Heidelberg Catechism Lord’s Day 1
