The term “therefore” can be a tip-off in Paul’s letters that he is landing his theology in practical instruction, as it is in each of the passages we just looked at. (You might have heard the advice, “If you see a ‘therefore,’ find out what it’s there for.”) If we divided each verse to frame these connections it would look something like this chart.
Notice how in each case Paul is asking believers to live out the work of Christ in their lives.
| Theological Ideas | Practical Implications |
| You were bought at a price. | Therefore honor God with your bodies. (1 Corinthians 6:20, NIV) |
| Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends | Let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God. (2 Corinthians 7:1) |
| In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. | Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. (Romans 6:11-12) |
| And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. | Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. (Romans 8:11-12) |
