New King James Version (NKJV)

Romans - Chapter 12

	Rom 12:1	I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
	Rom 12:2	And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
	Rom 12:3	For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
	Rom 12:4	For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function,
	Rom 12:5	so we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
	Rom 12:6	Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, [let us use them]: if prophecy, [let us] [prophesy] in proportion to our faith;
	Rom 12:7	or ministry, [let us use it] in [our] ministering; he who teaches, in teaching;
	Rom 12:8	he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
	Rom 12:9	[Let] love [be] without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.
	Rom 12:10	[Be] kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;
	Rom 12:11	not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
	Rom 12:12	rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;
	Rom 12:13	distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.
	Rom 12:14	Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
	Rom 12:15	Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
	Rom 12:16	Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
	Rom 12:17	Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.
	Rom 12:18	If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.
	Rom 12:19	Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but [rather] give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance [is Mine, I will repay]," [fn] says the Lord.
	Rom 12:20	Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head." [fn]
	Rom 12:21	Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
