12Verse 1I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God, your reasonable religious service.Verse 2Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may determine what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God.Verse 3For by the grace given to me I tell everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think, but to think sensibly, in accordance with the measure of faith that God has distributed to each one of you.Verse 4For just as in one body we have many members, and all the members do not have the same function,Verse 5so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.Verse 6We have different gifts according to the grace given to us. If someone's gift is prophecy, he should prophesy in proportion to his faith;Verse 7if it is service, he should serve; if it is teaching, he should teach;Verse 8if it is exhortation, he should exhort; if it is giving, he should do so generously; if it is leadership, he should do so diligently; if it is showing mercy, he should do so cheerfully.Verse 9Love must be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good.Verse 10Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Take the lead in honoring one another.Verse 11Do not lack diligence in zeal, but be fervent in spirit, serving the+Lord.Verse 12Rejoice in hope, persevere in tribulation, and persist in prayer.Verse 13Contribute to the needs of the saints, and pursue hospitality.Verse 14Bless those who persecute+you; bless, and do not curse.Verse 15Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.Verse 16Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.Verse 17Repay no one evil for evil, but have regard for what is right in the sight of all.Verse 18If possible, as far as it depends on you, be at peace with everyone.Verse 19Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the+Lord.”Verse 20Therefore, “if yoʋr enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by doing so, yoʋ will heap coals of fire on his head.”Verse 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
