I have been loving going through Romans with our staff. I have a great commentary on it and it has some great insight. One of our favorites though had to be the version which he quotes the scriptures in the commentary itself. Here is Romans 12:1-2--I love this!
Brothers, I call upon you, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies to Him, a living, consecrated sacrifice, well-pleasing to God--for that is the only kind of worship which is truly spiritual. And do not shape your lives to meet the fleeting fashions of this world; but be transformed from it, by the renewal of your mind, until the very essence of your being is altered, so that, in your own life, you may prove that the will of God is good and well-pleasing and perfect.
I love the translation, "the very essence of your being is altered". Made it so real for me. Hope there is some encouragement there for you.
