TEST OF REJECTION
1 Offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God, dedicated to his service and pleasing to him …. 2 Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God, what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect.

For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’
