1 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice,aacceptable to God, which is yourbspiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to thiscworld, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you maydprove what the will of God is, that which is good andeacceptable and perfect. | |
3 For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. 4 For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, 5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if prophecy,faccording to the proportion of his faith; 7 ifgservice, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching; 8 or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, withhliberality; he whoileads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. | |
9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love;jgive preference to one another in honor; 11 not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, 13 contributing to the needs of theksaints,lpracticing hospitality. | |
14 Bless those who persecutemyou; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, butnassociate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. 17 Never pay back evil for evil to anyone.oRespect what is right in the sight of all men. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. 19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, butpleave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord. 20 “BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. |
