Dear Dave,

Truly 75% of the New Testament is directed toward the saints in instructing them in what manner of life they should live.

Titus 2:11-12  For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,  12  TEACHING US THAT, DENYING UNGODLINESS AND WORLDLY LUSTS, WE SHOULD LIVE SOBERLY, RIGHTEOUSLY, AND GODLY, in this present world;

It would be difficult to answer your question as presented because almost every page of the New Testament has something to say about the topic.

1 Peter 2:24  Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, THAT WE, BEING DEAD TO SINS, SHOULD LIVE UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Romans 12:1-2  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that YE PRESENT YOUR BODIES A LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY, ACCEPTABLE UNTO GOD, [which is] your reasonable service.  2  And BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD: BUT BE YE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, THAT YE MAY PROVE WHAT [IS] THAT GOOD, AND ACCEPTABLE, AND PERFECT, WILL OF GOD.

Galatians 5:22-23  But the fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING, GENTLENESS, GOODNESS, FAITH,  23  MEEKNESS, TEMPERANCE: against such there is no law.

Colossians 3:12-13  PUT ON THEREFORE, as the elect of God, HOLY AND BELOVED, BOWELS OF MERCIES, KINDNESS, HUMBLENESS OF MIND, MEEKNESS, LONGSUFFERING;  13  FORBEARING ONE ANOTHER, AND FORGIVING ONE ANOTHER, IF ANY MAN HAVE A QUARREL AGAINST ANY: EVEN AS CHRIST FORGAVE YOU, SO ALSO [DO] YE.

The only way I can answer your question is to suggest that you spend some time in reading the epistles of Paul to start.

I hope this helps.

Your Servant In Christ Jesus,
Paul Walker
