“And so, dear brothers and sisters, I please with you to give your bodies to God because of all He has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice – the kind He will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship Him.” (Romans 12:1, NLT)
“For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And the ransom He paid was to mere gold or silver. It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.” (1 Peter 1:18-19, NLT)
