Romans 12
Rom 12:1 Therefore I
urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a
living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual
service.
Rom 12:2 Don't be
conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your
mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and
perfect will of God.
Rom 12:3 For I say,
through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you,
not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to
think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of
faith.
Rom 12:4 For even as we
have many members in one body, and all the members don't have the
same function,
Rom 12:5 so we, who are
many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of
another.
Rom 12:6 Having gifts
differing according to the grace that was given to us, if prophecy,
let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
Rom 12:7 or service,
let us give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;
Rom 12:8 or he who
exhorts, to his exhorting: he who gives, let him do it with
liberality; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with
cheerfulness.
Rom 12:9 Let love be
without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is
good.
Rom 12:10 In love of
the brothers be tenderly affectionate one to another; in honor
preferring one another;
Rom 12:11 not lagging
in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Rom 12:12 rejoicing in
hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer;
Rom 12:13 contributing
to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality.
Rom 12:14 Bless those
who persecute you; bless, and don't curse.
Rom 12:15 Rejoice with
those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.
Rom 12:16 Be of the
same mind one toward another. Don't set your mind on high things, but
associate with the humble. Don't be wise in your own conceits.
Rom 12:17 Repay no one
evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.
Rom 12:18 If it is
possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.
Rom 12:19 Don't seek
revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is
written, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord."
Rom 12:20 Therefore "If
your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head."
Rom 12:21 Don't be
overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
