“Every day that we're not practicing godliness we're being conformed to the world of ungodliness around us”

Simplified Meaning:

When we don't work on being good and following positive values every day, we start to pick up bad habits and behaviors from the world around us. Imagine a person who stops exercising regularly and starts eating junk food because all their friends do. Over time, they become unhealthy because they are not making an effort to stay fit and eat well. In the same way, if we don't consistently try to be kind, honest, and helpful, we might start to lie, cheat, or be mean since these behaviors can be common in society. It's like a plant that needs daily sunlight and water to grow. If it doesn't get what it needs, it starts to wilt and die. So, to live a good life, we need to make a daily effort to practice good values and behaviors. This way, we aren't influenced by negative things around us and instead, we become better, stronger, and happier people.
