I will type out only two of the verses for the sake of space and briefly comment. The context of this particular portion of Scripture is specifically concerning living for God, ie. It is about following Jesus, serving Jesus, living for Jesus. God requires that we love Him and serve Him with all our heart, soul and might. He will take second place to no one or nothing.
Christians are cross-bearers.
It is in their hearts to bear the cross, whatever it be, whenever Christ requires. Christians have resolved that Christ is Master, and we are called to serve. We are His servants. It will cost us the giving up of our former, meager manners and replace those manners with the noble and worthy requirements of God. The choice is ours.
