“I 1urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.” (Rom. 12:1) 1parakaleō: to beg or plead.
“Presenting our bodies” was Paul’s way of explaining that as a redeemed people, we surrender our lives BACK TO JESUS in thanksgiving for ALL He has done.
