 "question": "How are we to be transformed?",
 "answer": "We are transformed by the renewing of our mind. \"Renewing\" is anakainoo—ana, \"again and again,\" and kainos, \"new in quality\"—so it means the constant improvement of the quality of our minds through the repetition of the teaching of the Word of God. God's plan is order upon order and line upon line, a little here and a little there: we put promise upon promise and precept upon precept, and advance step by step. As we renew the mind through consistent, long-term study of the Word, our thinking gains quality, and so our life gains quality—we find experiential newness of life.",
