Chapter 12

1

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

2

and 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.

3

For 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,

4

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

5

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

6

And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy -- `According to the proportion of faith!`

7

or ministration -- `In the ministration!` or he who is teaching -- `In the teaching!`

8

or he who is exhorting -- `In the exhortation!` he who is sharing -- `In simplicity!` he who is leading -- `In diligence?` he who is doing kindness -- `In cheerfulness.`

9

The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;

10

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

11

in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the Lord serving;

12

in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;

13

to the necessities of the saints communicating; the hospitality pursuing.

14

Bless those persecuting you; bless, and curse not;

15

to rejoice with the rejoicing, and to weep with the weeping,

16

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

17

giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men.

18

If possible -- so far as in you -- with all men being in peace;

19

not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, `Vengeance is Mine,

20

I 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;

21

Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil.

Romans 13
