Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. This means you must watch what you think and say so that it will glorify God.
As friends of Jesus, you are to do all things to the glory of God, whether you are eating or playing or studying or cooking or washing plates or cleaning the house or going to the market or grocery store or running errands for your parents or teachers, you are to do all things to the glory of God.
