"And we ought not to listen to those who counsel us 'O man, think as man should' and 'O mortal, remeber your mortality." Rather ought we, so far as in us lies, to put on immortality and to leave nothing unattempted in the effort to live in conformity with the highest thing within us. Small in bulk it may be, yet in power and preciousness it transcends all the rest."
-Aristotle, The Ethics
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer 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."
-Romans 12:1-2
"...you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator."
-Colossians 3:9-10
