Romans 12:1-2 KJV

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.

Rotherham

I beseech you therefore, brethren, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living, holy sacrifice, unto God acceptable,—your rational divine service;

And be not configuring yourselves unto this age, but be transforming yourselves by the renewing of your mind, to the end ye may be proving what is the thing willed by God—the good and acceptable and perfect.

Romans 12:1 and 2: 

Rotherham

I beseech you therefore, brethren, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living, holy sacrifice, unto God acceptable,—your rational divine service;And be not configuring yourselves unto this age, but be transforming yourselves by the renewing of your mind, to the end ye may be proving what is the thing willed by God—the good and acceptable and perfect.

You know, in chapter 12, God told us about things of the spirit, or  spiritual matters, how some of them were charismata, gifts of God's grace, vertically.  Others were manifestations as they ministered to  God's people.  Then, in chapter 13, we were informed that all of these  manifestations operate effectively, as well as the ministries, if we 

When it comes to the field of the holy spirit and the  manifestations of the holy spirit, there are only three chapters in the  Bible that give the complete details regarding the usage and the  operations of the manifestations.  Those three chapters, basically, only  deal, significantly and dynamically, with three of the manifestations:  speaking in tongues; interpretation of tongues and prophecy.  But, these  three chapters set like a diamond in the book of Corinthians.  But, most  people have always arrested chapter 13 out from among 12 and 14.  But  chapters 12, 13 and 14 of 1Corinthians, make one complete whole.  They  make a unit.  And if we take out the thirteenth chapter from between the  twelfth and the fourteenth, we lose the great emphasis and impact, of  the dynamics of God's wonderful, matchless Word. 

There are three types of love in the world. The Greek words for them, of course, are well known among our people. Agapeo, Phileo, and Eros.

For the most part, the world knows the most about the last. The middle one, they know a little about, because if you're going to be a good businessman, you at least have to practice Phileo. But only those who are born again of God's Spirit and put on the mind of Christ know the agapeo type of love.

This is a new kind of love, people, that was first introduced and brought to this world with Jesus Christ. And John 3, 16 says, For God so what? Loved. That he gave his only begotten Son.

Until God so loved that he gave his only begotten Son, this new type of agapeo love was just not available. Because this agapeo love is a love that's introduced into the inner man, which is the Christ in you, the hope of glory. Love at best before the introduction of this agapeo kind of love was Phileo.

2 Corinthians 2:14-17 KJV 

Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

Rotherham

But, unto God, be thanks, who, ever, leadeth us in triumph in the Christ, and, the fragrance of the knowledge of him, maketh manifest, through us, in every place,
