Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.
Transfiguration is inward, spiritual, unattainable save through the constraining power of Christ's love, new in motives and ends, new in the whole life, even where actions themselves differ nothing from the world's. God's will is good because it demands only what is eternally good, well-pleasing because it is arbitrary in nothing, perfect because it requires the perfection of His reasonable creature.
AI summary
Do not take other men's opinions or conduct as your rule for life; wholly renounce this world and set before you the will of God as revealed in His Word. There is no room left for reason, which the heathen philosophers crown as queen, nor for man's free will, which the papists dream of, because the mind must be renewed by God.
AI summary
Do not conform to the men of the world in a moral sense, walking in the same excess of riot as them, nor in a religious sense, joining in idolatry and will-worship. Conformity to evil manners is contrary to the very principle and doctrine of grace, which teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts entirely.
