RKJNT - Romans - 12

12:1  Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service of worship.

12:2  And do not be conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good, and acceptable, and perfect.

12:3  For through the grace given to me, I say to every man among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according to the measure of faith God has given him.

12:4  For as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function:

12:5  So we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually are members one of another.

12:6  Having gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, according to the proportion of our faith;

12:7  If service, in our serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching;

12:8  Or he who exhorts, in exhortation: he who gives, with generosity; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

12:9  Let love be genuine. Abhor that which is evil; cling to that which is good.

12:10  Be devoted to one another with brotherly love; honour one another more than yourselves;

12:11  Not lacking in zeal; aglow with the spirit; serving the Lord;

12:12  Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; faithful in prayer;

12:13  Contributing to the saints who are in need; practicing hospitality.

12:14  Bless those who persecute you: bless, and do not curse.

12:15  Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.

12:16  Be in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own conceits.

12:17  Do not repay any man evil for evil, but take thought of those things that are right in the sight of all men.

12:18  If it is possible, as much as it lies with you, live peaceably with all men.

12:19  Dearly beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place for the wrath of God: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.

12:20  Therefore, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink: for in so doing you shall heap coals of fire upon his head.

12:21  Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
