A Christian's living sacrifice, according to the apostle, is the renunciation of all forms of evil. Human life should be an everyday sacrifice to God. The phrase “this world” in the Holy Bible symbolizes the evil, sin, with all its temptations and delusions. Recognizing the sin and rejecting the evil are the base for understanding God's will. God's will is good, pleasing, and perfect. What are the differences between exhortation and teaching?

In 1933, the famous Shakespearean scholar, artistic director of the Leningrad Theater of Opera and Ballet after Kirov (now Mariinsky) Sergei Radlov suggested Sergei Prokofiev to write music on the theme of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." The composer immediately started to write. Parallel with making the music, he, together with Radlov and the theater critic and playwright Adrian Piotrovsky, also created the libretto of the ballet.
The ballet "Romeo and Juliet" was premiered on December 30, 1938, in the Czech city of Brno. On the national scene, it was presented after overcoming many obstacles, on January 11, 1940.
