Romans 12 — WBMS
12Verse 1Therefore, brethren, I beseech you by the mercy of God, that ye give your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing to God, and your service reasonable.Verse 2And do not ye be conformed to this world, but be ye reformed in newness of your wit, that ye prove which is the will of God, good, and well pleasing, and perfect.Verse 3For I say, by the grace that is given to me, to all that be among you, that ye understand not more than it behooveth to understand, but for to understand to soberness, [or to not savour, or know, more than it behooveth to know, but to know to soberness]; and to each man, as God hath parted the measure of faith.Verse 4For as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same deed [or the same act];Verse 5so we many be one body in Christ, and each be members one of another.Verse 6Therefore we that have gifts diversing, after the grace that is given to us, either prophecy, after the reason of faith;Verse 7either service [or ministry], in ministering; either he that teacheth, in teaching;Verse 8he that stirreth softly, in admonishing [or in exhortation]; he that giveth, in simpleness; he that is sovereign, [or is prelate, or is before], in busyness; he that hath mercy, in gladness.Verse 9Love without feigning, hating evil, drawing [or fast cleaving] to good;Verse 10loving together the charity of brotherhood. Each come before to worship other [or Coming before together in honour];Verse 11not slow in busyness, fervent in spirit, serving to the Lord,Verse 12joying in hope, patient in tribulation, busy in prayer,Verse 13giving good to the needs of saints, keeping hospitality.Verse 14Bless ye men that pursue you; bless ye, and do not ye curse;Verse 15for to joy with men that joy, for to weep with men that weep.Verse 16Feel ye the same thing together; not understanding, [or savouring, or cunning], high things, but consenting to meek things, [following meek fathers]. Do not ye be prudent with yourselves;Verse 17to no man yielding evil for evil, but purvey ye good things, not only before God, but also before all men.Verse 18If it may be done, that that is of you, have ye peace with all men.Verse 19Ye most dear brethren, not defending, [or avenging], yourselves, but give ye place to wrath [or ire]; for it is written, The Lord saith, To me vengeance, and I shall yield.Verse 20But if thine enemy hungereth, feed thou him; if he thirsteth, give thou drink to him; for thou doing this thing shalt gather together coals on his head [or doing these things thou shalt gather together coals on his head].Verse 21Do not thou be overcome of evil, but overcome thou evil by good.
