\c 12
|

\p
|
|
\v 1 I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.
|
|
\v 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, for you to know what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 3 For I say, because of the grace that was given to me, that everyone who is among you should not think more highly of oneself than he ought to think; but to think so as to think wisely, just as God has given out to each one a measure of faith.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 4 For just as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function,
|
|
\v 5 so we who are many are one body in Christ, and individually members of each other.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 6 We have different gifts according to the grace that was given to us. If one's gift is prophecy, let it be done according to the proportion of his faith.
|
|
\v 7 If one's gift is service, let him serve. If one has the gift of teaching, let him teach.
|
|
\v 8 If one's gift is encouragement, let him encourage; if one's gift is giving, let him do it generously; if one's gift is leading, let it be done with care; if one's gift is in showing mercy, let it be done with cheerfulness.

\v 9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; hold on to that which is good.
|
|
\v 10 Concerning love of the brothers, be affectionate to one another; concerning honor, respect one another.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 11 Concerning diligence, do not be hesitant; concerning the spirit, be eager; concerning the Lord, serve him.
|
|
\v 12 Rejoice in the confidence you have about the future. Be patient in your troubles. Keep on praying.
|

|
\s5
|
|
\v 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
|
|
\v 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.
|
|
\v 16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not think in proud ways, but accept lowly people. Do not be wise in your own thoughts.
|

\v 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
