The Mind in the New Testament

Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind (nous), that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

2 Corinthians 10:5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought (noema) into captivity to the obedience of Christ

Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding (nous), will guard your hearts and minds (noema) through Christ Jesus.

Mark 12:30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind (dianoia) , and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.

Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind (dianoia) and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

1 Peter 1:13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind (dianoia), be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ

Philippians 2:5-8 (MEV)  Let this  mind (phroneo) be in you all, which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped. But He emptied Himself, taking upon Himself the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. And being found in the form of a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death, even death on a cross.

Colossians 3:2 Set your mind (phroneo) on things above, not on things on the earth.

Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded (phronema) is death, but to be spiritually minded (phronema) is life and peace.

1 Peter 4:7 (KJV) But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober (sophroneo), and watch unto prayer.

2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind (sophronismos).
