I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service (12:1)

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (12:2)

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith (12:3)

For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: (12:4)

So we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. (12:5) 74

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of faith; (12:6)

Or ministry, [let us wait] on [our] ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; (12:7)

Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, [let him do it] with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness (12:8)

[Let] love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good (12:9)

[Be] kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; (12:10)

Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; (12:11)

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; (12:12)

Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality (12:13)

Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not (12:14)

Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep (12:15)

[Be] of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits (12:16)

Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men (12:17)

If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men (12:18)

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord (12:19)

Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head (12:20)

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good (12:21)
