Romans 12:1-18 ▼

1 Therefore I exhort you?, brothers, through the compassions of God, to present your? bodies as a living sacrifice, holy to God, well-pleasing, which is your? reasonable service.

2 And do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind, for you? to discern what is the good and well-pleasing and perfect will of God.

3 For through the grace having been given to me, I say to everyone being among you? not to be high-minded above what it is necessary to think, but to think so as to be sound-minded, as God allotted to each a measure of faith.

4 For just as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function,

5 so we, the many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

6 And we are having different gifts according to the grace having been given to us: if prophecy, according to the proportion of faith;

7 and if service, in the service; and if teaching, in the teaching;

8 and if exhorting, in the exhortation; giving, in generosity; leading, in diligence; showing mercy, in cheerfulness.

9 Let love be unfeigned: abhorring evil, cleaving to good,

10 devoted to one another in brotherly love, esteeming one another in honor,

11 not slothful in diligence, being fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,

12 rejoicing in hope, enduring in tribulation, persisting in prayer,

13 contributing to the needs of the saints, pursuing hospitality.

14 Bless those persecuting you?; bless and do not curse,

15 to rejoice with the rejoicing, to weep with the weeping,

16 minding the same thing toward one another, not minding the high things, but going along with the lowly. Do not be wise in yourselves,

17 repaying to no one evil for evil, giving forethought to right things before all men;

18 if possible of you?, being at peace with all men;
