Romans Chapter 12 (NASB)
undefined
Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, [which is] your spiritual service of worship.
undefined
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
undefined
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.
undefined
For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function,
undefined
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
undefined
Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, [each of us is to exercise them accordingly]: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith;
undefined
if service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching;
undefined
or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
undefined
[Let] love [be] without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good.
undefined
[Be] devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor;
undefined
not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
undefined
rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer,
undefined
contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality.
undefined
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
undefined
Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
undefined
Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.
undefined
Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men.
undefined
If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.
undefined
Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath [of God], for it is written, 'VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,' says the Lord.
undefined
'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.'
undefined
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
