Like this is where so much of American Christianity gets it wrong. Like we think that that following Jesus is just about behavior modification. It's white knuckling it. It's trying harder. And Paul is like, no. No. Before we even get into the behavior stuff, this is like start with your thinking. In another letter that he wrote to another group of Jesus followers, he said, don't conform to the pattern of this world. Or one translation says, don't let the world squeeze you into its mold, but rather be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
