Romans Chapter 12 (ESV)
undefined
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
undefined
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
undefined
For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.
undefined
For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function,
undefined
so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
undefined
Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith;
undefined
if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching;
undefined
the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
undefined
Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.
undefined
Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
undefined
Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.
undefined
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
undefined
Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.
undefined
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
undefined
Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
undefined
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight.
undefined
Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.
undefined
If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
undefined
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
undefined
To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.”
undefined
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
