143:2.3 " Verily, verily, I say to you, he who rules his own [[self]] is greater than he who captures a [[city]]. [[Self-mastery]] is the [[measure]] of man's [[moral]] [[nature]] and the indicator of his [[spiritual]] [[development]]. In the old order you [[fasted]] and [[prayed]]; as the new creature of the rebirth of the [[spirit]], you are taught to [[believe]] and [[rejoice]]. In [[the Father]]'s kingdom you are to become new creatures; old things are to pass away; behold I show you how [[all things]] are to become new. And by your [[love]] for one another you are to convince the world that you have passed from [[bondage]] to [[liberty]], from [[death]] into life everlasting.

143:2.4 " By the old way you seek to [[suppress]], [[obey]], and [[conform]] to the rules of living; by the new way you are first [[transformed]] by the [[Spirit of Truth]] and thereby strengthened in your inner [[soul]] by the constant [[spiritual]] renewing of your [[mind]], and so are you [[endowed]] with the [[power]] of the certain and [[joyous]] [[performance]] of the [[gracious]], acceptable, and [[perfect]] will of [[God]]. Forget not—it is your [[personal]] [[faith]] in the exceedingly great and precious [[promises]] of [[God]] that ensures your becoming partakers of the [[divine]] nature. Thus by your [[faith]] and the [[spirit]]'s [[transformation]], you become in [[reality]] the [[temples]] of [[God]], and [[Thought Adjuster|his spirit]] actually dwells within you.
