What I can tell you about what is in the Bible is, the best way of life is the way of gospel, the ways of the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. In Philippians 1:27, that is the manner of life taught by the Lord Jesus Christ to the apostles. The manner of the gospel, in other translations, they use the “manner of life” to be “conversation”, which is not understood sometimes by millennials.
Because when you read the word conversation, as if you are conversing or talking to one another. But it is not the way it should have been translated. In the King James version, the word “conversation” came from the Greek word “politeuomai”, that is to behave as a citizen or person.
The word “to behave” is your manner, your habit in life. So it is correctly translated in the revised standard version, which means that our manner of life should be based on the faith of the gospel.
We have to live our life in faith in the gospel. And the gospel is all the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is not the manner of the ten commandments or the commandments of Moses. It is the manner of the commandments of Christ which is called in the Bible as the gospel.
The law of Moses stopped. The efficacy of the law of Moses stopped during the time of John the Baptist. Mark 1:14. The Lord Jesus Christ, when he began to preach after John was put into prison and then later beheaded by Herod. Christ was preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God. So the preaching of the Lord Jesus Christ is the preaching of the gospel.
In conclusion, the best way to live your teenage life and your life in general is the way of gospel, the way of the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thanks for reading.
