Romans 12:5-20

⁵so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.

⁶Having then gifts differing according to the grace having been given to us, let us use them: whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

⁷whether ministry, let us use it in our ministry; whether teaching; in the teaching;

⁸whether exhorting, in the exhortation; whether sharing, with simplicity; whether leading, with diligence; whether showing mercy, with cheerfulness.

⁹Let love be without hypocrisy. Hate that which is evil. Cleave to that which is good.

¹⁰Be warmly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor preferring one another;

¹¹not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;

¹²rejoicing in hope, enduring in tribulation, devoted to prayer;

¹³sharing in the needs of the saints, pursuing hospitality.

¹⁴Bless those that persecute you; bless and do not curse.

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

¹⁶Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but rather associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

¹⁷Do not repay anyone evil for evil; providing that which is good before all men.

¹⁸If possible, as much as depends on you, keeping peace with all men.

¹⁹Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.

²⁰Therefore “If your enemy should hunger, feed him; if he should thirst, give him drink; for by doing this you will heap burning coals upon his head.”
