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 .
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 , And acceptable , And perfect , will of God .
for I say , through the grace given unto me , to every man that Is among you , not to think [ of himself ] more highly than he ought to think ; but to think soberly , according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith .
for as we have Many members in one body , And all members have not the same office :
So we , [ being ] Many , are one body in Christ , And every one members one of another .
having Then gifts differing according to the grace that Is given to us , whether prophecy , [ let us prophesy ] according to the proportion of faith ;
or ministry , [ let us wait ] on [ our ] ministering : or he that teacheth , on teaching ;
or he that exhorteth , on exhortation : he that giveth , [ let him do it ] with simplicity ; he that ruleth , with diligence ; he that showeth mercy , with cheerfulness .
let ] love be without dissimulation . abhor that which Is evil ; cleave to that which Is good .
be ] kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love ; in honour preferring one another ;
not slothful in business ; fervent in spirit ; serving the LORD ;
rejoicing in hope ; patient in tribulation ; continuing instant in prayer ;
Distributing to the necessity of saints ; given to hospitality .
bless them which persecute you : bless , And curse not .
Rejoice with them that do Rejoice , And weep with them that weep .
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 .
recompense to no man evil for evil . provide things honest in the sight of all men .
if it be possible , as much as lieth in you , live peaceably with all men .
Dearly beloved , avenge not yourselves , but [ rather ] give place unto wrath : for it Is written , vengeance [ Is ] mine ; I will repay , saith the LORD .
therefore if thine enemy hunger , feed him ; if he thirst , give him drink : for in So doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head .
be not overcome of evil , but overcome evil with good .
