Romans 12

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And be not conformed to this world : but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, (1 Timothy 2:3) and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think (1 Corinthians 4:6) of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt (1 Corinthians 3:5) to every man the measure of faith.

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

5 So we, being many, are one body (1 Corinthians 10:17) in Christ, and every one members one of another.

6 Having then gifts differing (1 Corinthians 7:7; 1 Corinthians 12:11; 2 Corinthians 10:13; Ephesians 4:7) according (Matthew 25:15; 1 Corinthians 12:7) to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, (1 Corinthians 12:10) let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, (1 Corinthians 12:28; Hebrews 13:17) with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.Proverbs 3:7 Prov 3:7Proverbs 3:7

17 Recompense (Matthew 5:24) to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.Deuteronomy 32:35 Deut 32:35Deuteronomy 32:35

20 Therefore (Proverbs 25:21) if thine enemy (Proverbs 25:21; Matthew 5:44; Luke 6:27; Luke 6:35; Luke 23:34; Acts 7:60) hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.Proverbs 25:21

21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
