In other words, the beginning of wisdom is the fear of GOD. Therefore, through your fearing to not serve GOD, you will bring your bodies into subjection to the Wisdom and Understanding that await you. Your spirit and your mind is being made perfect. As one writer said on another occasion,

"Abstain from all appearance of evil, and the very GOD of Peace sanctify you wholly"

-- W H O L L Y, wholly. Every particle part of your physical body can be sanctified WHOLLY; not merely the expression of H-O-L-Y, Holy, as being perfect in spirit and in mind, but every part of your physical body can and SHOULD be sanctified wholly by bringing your body -- your physical body -- into subjection to the CHRIST Consciousness through denying all of your human fancies, tendencies, pleasures, denying all of your preconceived ideas and opinions, denying all of your will, your ways and your ideas, and living in this recognition, especially sacrificing your human tendencies, your human inclinations and fancies; for they are all the chaff which we are now burning. They should be cast into the great Spiritual furnace of Salvation, to be burned into the nothingness of nothing from whence they came.
