In Romans 12:1–2 Paul urges the church in Rome to offer their bodies as living sacrifices and not to be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of their mind; each verse also appears on its own. Ephesians 4:20–24, with 4:23 on its own, speaks of putting off the old self, being renewed in the spirit of the mind and putting on the new self. 2 Corinthians 4:16 says of Paul and those with him that their inner self is being renewed day by day.

Philippians 4:8 tells the church in Philippi to think on whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely and admirable; 2 Corinthians 10:4–5 speaks of taking every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ; Philippians 4:6–7 of the peace of God guarding hearts and minds; Colossians 3:2 of setting minds on things above; 1 Peter 1:13 of preparing minds for action; Philippians 2:5 of the mind that was in Christ Jesus; and Colossians 3:16 of the word of Christ dwelling richly.

In the third group, the psalmist of Psalm 119:11 says that he has hidden God's word in his heart, the LORD tells Joshua to meditate on the Book of the Law (Joshua 1:8–9), Jesus says that the truth will set free those who continue in His word (John 8:32), and in John 17:17 He asks the Father to sanctify His disciples by the truth. The last group has Psalm 51:10, a prayer for a clean heart, Isaiah 40:31, on those who wait upon the LORD, and Jeremiah 29:11.

20But this is not the way you came to know Christ. 21Surely you heard of Him and were taught in Him—in keeping with the truth that is in Jesus— 22to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23to be renewed in the spirit of your minds; 24and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

KJV

20But ye have not so learned Christ; 21If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

WEB

20But you didn’t learn Christ that way, 21if indeed you heard him and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus: 22that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit, 23and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
