Romans 12 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Dedicated Service

Therefore^G3767 I urge^G3870 you, brothers^G80 and sisters, by the mercies^G3628 of God^G2316, to present^G3936 your bodies^G4983 as a living^G2198 and holy^G40 sacrifice^G2378, [fn]acceptable^G2101 to God^G2316, which is your [fn]spiritual^G3050 service^G2999 of^G2999 worship^G2999.

Rom 12:2

Rom 12:2And do not be conformed to this [fn]world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may [fn]prove what the will of God is, that which is good and [fn]acceptable and perfect.

Rom 12:3

For through^G1223 the grace^G5485 given^G1325 to me I say^G3004 to everyone^G3956 among^G1722 you not to think^G5252 more^G5252 highly^G5252 of himself than^G3844 he ought^G1163 to think^G5426; but to think^G5426 so^G1519 as to have^G4993 sound^G4993 judgment^G4993, as God^G2316 has allotted^G3307 to each^G1538 a measure^G3358 of faith^G4102.

Rom 12:4

Rom 12:4For just as we have many parts in one body and all [fn]the body’s parts do not have the same function,

Rom 12:5

Rom 12:5so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually parts of one another.

Rom 12:6

Rom 12:6However, since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to use them properly: if prophecy, [fn]in proportion to one’s faith;

Rom 12:7

Rom 12:7if [fn]service, in the act of serving; or the one who teaches, in the act of teaching;

Rom 12:8

Rom 12:8or the one who [fn]exhorts, in the work of [fn]exhortation; the one who gives, with [fn]generosity; the one who [fn]is in leadership, with diligence; the one who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

Rom 12:9

[fn]Love^G26 must be free^G505 of^G505 hypocrisy^G505. Detest^G655 what^G4190 is^G4190 evil^G4190; cling^G2853 to what^G18 is^G18 good^G18.

Rom 12:10

Rom 12:10Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; [fn]give preference to one another in honor,

Rom 12:11

Rom 12:11not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;

Rom 12:12

Rom 12:12rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer,

Rom 12:13

Rom 12:13contributing to the needs of the [fn]saints, [fn]practicing hospitality.

Rom 12:14

Bless^G2127 those^G3588 who persecute^G1377 [fn]you; bless^G2127 and do not curse^G2672.

Rom 12:15

Rom 12:15Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.

Rom 12:16

Rom 12:16Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be [fn]haughty in mind, but [fn]associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.

Rom 12:17

Rom 12:17Never repay evil for evil to anyone. [fn]Respect what is right in the sight of all people.

Rom 12:18

Rom 12:18If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all people.

Rom 12:19

Rom 12:19Never take your own revenge, beloved, but [fn]leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written: “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord.

Rom 12:20

Rom 12:20“BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM; IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD.”
