Verse 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. Verse 2 And do not 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. Verse 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. Verse 4 For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function, Verse 5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Verse 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; Verse 7 or service, let us give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching; Verse 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. Verse 9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good. Verse 10 In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate one to another; outdo one another in showing honor; Verse 11 not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Verse 12 rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer; Verse 13 contributing to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality. Verse 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless, and do not curse. Verse 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep. Verse 16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Do not be arrogant, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own conceits. Verse 17 Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men. Verse 18 If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. Verse 19 Do not 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." Verse 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." Verse 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
