1I 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.studyinterlinear
2And 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.studyinterlinear
3For 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.studyinterlinear
4For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:studyinterlinear
5So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.studyinterlinear
6Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;studyinterlinear
7Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;studyinterlinear
8Or 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.studyinterlinear
9Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.studyinterlinear
10Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;studyinterlinear
11Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;studyinterlinear
12Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;studyinterlinear
13Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.studyinterlinear
14Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.studyinterlinear
15Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.studyinterlinear
16Be 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.studyinterlinear
17Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.studyinterlinear
18If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.studyinterlinear
19Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.studyinterlinear
20Therefore 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.studyinterlinear
21Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.studyinterlinear
