Romans 12:1-13

¹I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

²And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

³For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith.

⁴For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office:

⁵so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and severally members one of another.

⁶And having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

⁷or ministry, let us give ourselves to our ministry; or he that teacheth, to his teaching;

⁸or he that exhorteth, to his exhorting: he that giveth, let him do it with liberality; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness.

⁹Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

¹⁰In love of the brethren be tenderly affectioned one to another; in honor preferring one another;

¹¹in diligence not slothful; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

¹²rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing stedfastly in prayer;

¹³communicating to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality.
