      | ¶ | 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 sheweth 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. |
