Chapter 12

1


 

  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, [which is] your intelligent service.  

 

 

--

2


 

  And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of [your] mind, that ye may prove what [is] the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.  

 

 

--

3


 

  For I say, through the grace which has been given to me, to every one that is among you, not to have high thoughts above what he should think; but to think so as to be wise, as God has dealt to each a measure of faith.  

 

 

--

4


 

  For, as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office;  

 

 

--

5


 

  thus we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and each one members one of the other.  

 

 

--

6


 

  But having different gifts, according to the grace which has been given to us, whether [it be] prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of faith;  

 

 

--

7


 

  or service, [let us occupy ourselves] in service; or he that teaches, in teaching;  

 

 

--

8


 

  or he that exhorts, in exhortation; he that gives, in simplicity; he that leads, with diligence; he that shews mercy, with cheerfulness.  

 

 

--

9


 

  Let love be unfeigned; abhorring evil; cleaving to good:  

 

 

--

10


 

  as to brotherly love, kindly affectioned towards one another: as to honour, each taking the lead in paying it to the other:  

 

 

--

11


 

  as to diligent zealousness, not slothful; in spirit fervent; serving the Lord.  

 

 

--

12


 

  As regards hope, rejoicing: as regards tribulation, enduring: as regards prayer, persevering:  

 

 

--

13


 

  distributing to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality.  

 

 

--

14


 

  Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not.  

 

 

--

15


 

  Rejoice with those that rejoice, weep with those that weep.  

 

 

--

16


 

  Have the same respect one for another, not minding high things, but going along with the lowly: be not wise in your own eyes:  

 

 

--

17


 

  recompensing to no one evil for evil: providing things honest before all men:  

 

 

--

18


 

  if possible, as far as depends on you, living in peace with all men;  

 

 

--

19


 

  not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath; for it is written, Vengeance [belongs] to me, I will recompense, saith the Lord.  

 

 

--

20


 

  If therefore thine enemy should hunger, feed him; if he should thirst, give him drink; for, so doing, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.  

 

 

--

21


 

  Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.  

 

 

--
