Romans 12
1-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.
2-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.
3-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.
4-For as we have many
members in one body, and all members have not
the same office:
5-So we, being many,
are one body in Christ, and every one members
one of another.
6-Having then gifts
differing according to the grace that is given
to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy
according to the proportion of faith;
7-Or ministry, let us
wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on
teaching;
8-Or he that exhorteth,
on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it
with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence;
he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
9-Let love be without
dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave
to that which is good.
10-Be kindly
affectioned one to another with brotherly love;
in honour preferring one another;
11-Not slothful in
business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
12-Rejoicing in hope;
patient in tribulation; continuing instant in
prayer;
13-Distributing to the
necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
14-Bless them which
persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15-Rejoice with them
that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16-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.
17-Recompense to no man
evil for evil. Provide things honest in the
sight of all men.
18-If it be possible,
as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all
men.
19-Dearly beloved,
avenge not yourselves, but rather give place
unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is
mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20-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.
21-Be not overcome of
evil, but overcome evil with good.
