We continue with the problem of the past in Romans and even though we have the word or the "10" Commandments we still have a past. When others who had the "10" brought someone to Jesus to condemn, the only one qualified to throw a stone didn't.
So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
