Rom 12:1I call upon you, therefore, brethren, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a sacrifice -- living, sanctified, acceptable to God -- your intelligent service;

Rom 12:2

Rom 12:2and be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what is the will of God -- the good, and acceptable, and perfect.

Rom 12:3

Rom 12:3For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith,

Rom 12:4

Rom 12:4for as in one body we have many members, and all the members have not the same office,

Rom 12:5

Rom 12:5so we, the many, one body are in Christ, and members each one of one another.

Rom 12:6

Rom 12:6And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy -- 'According to the proportion of faith!'

Rom 12:7

Rom 12:7or ministration -- 'In the ministration!' or he who is teaching -- 'In the teaching!'

Rom 12:9

Rom 12:9The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;

Rom 12:10

Rom 12:10in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another;

Rom 12:11

Rom 12:11in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the Lord serving;

Rom 12:12

Rom 12:12in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;

Rom 12:13

Rom 12:13to the necessities of the saints communicating; the hospitality pursuing.

Rom 12:14

Rom 12:14Bless those persecuting you; bless, and curse not;

Rom 12:15

Rom 12:15to rejoice with the rejoicing, and to weep with the weeping,

Rom 12:16

Rom 12:16of the same mind one toward another, not minding the high things, but with the lowly going along; become not wise in your own conceit;

Rom 12:17

Rom 12:17giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men.

Rom 12:18

Rom 12:18If possible -- so far as in you -- with all men being in peace;

Rom 12:19

Rom 12:19not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, 'Vengeance is Mine,

Rom 12:20

Rom 12:20I will recompense again, saith the Lord;' if, then, thine enemy doth hunger, feed him; if he doth thirst, give him drink; for this doing, coals of fire thou shalt heap upon his head;

Rom 12:21

Rom 12:21Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil.
