Romans 羅馬書 12:1-2 1所以，弟兄們，我以　神的慈悲勸你們，將身體獻上，當作活祭，是聖潔的，是　神所喜悅的；你們如此事奉乃是理所當然的。 2 不要效法這個世界，只要心意更新而變化，叫你們察驗何為　神的善良、純全、可喜悅的旨意。 (和合本) 1Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.  (NIV)

利未記 Leviticus 1:1-3 1耶和華從會幕中呼叫摩西，對他說： 2 「你曉諭以色列人說：你們中間若有人獻供物給耶和華，要從牛群羊群中獻牲畜為供物。 3 他的供物若以牛為燔祭，就要在會幕門口獻一隻沒有殘疾的公牛，可以在耶和華面前蒙悅納。1The LORD called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting. He said, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When anyone among you brings an offering to the LORD, bring as your offering an animal from either the herd or the flock. 3 If the offering is a burnt offering from the herd, you are to offer a male without defect. You must present it at the entrance to the tent of meeting so that it will be acceptable to the LORD. 

Galatians 加拉太書 2:20a 我已經與基督同釘十字架，現在活著的不再是我，乃是基督在我裡面活著；並且我如今在肉身活著，是因信神的兒子而活 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God.

Romans 羅馬書 12:1-2 1所以，弟兄們，我以 神的慈悲勸你們， 1所以，弟兄們，我以　神的慈悲勸你們， 將身體(複數,你們大家身體)獻上，當作活祭 (單數)，是聖潔的，是　神所喜悅的； 你們如此事奉乃是理所當然的。  1Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice (singular, not plural), holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.  Living Sacrifice 活祭 = complete, whole 完整的，不是部分或分期的

John 約翰福音15:19 你們若屬世界 (世俗/屬於這物質的世界)， 世界必愛屬自己的；只因你們不屬世界， 乃是我從世界中揀選了你們，所以世界就恨你們。  If you belonged to the world (cosmos = secular / of this material world), it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
