[1] Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service. [2] Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God. [3] For I say through the grace that was given me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith. [4] For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function, [5] so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another, [6] having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith; [7] or service, let’s give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching; [8] or he who exhorts, to his exhorting; he who gives, let him do it with generosity; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. [9] Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good. [10] In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another, [11] not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord, [12] rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer, [13] contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality. [14] Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse. [15] Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep. [16] Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits. [17] Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men. [18] If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. [19] Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.”† [20] Therefore
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him.
If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.”† [21] Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

[1] I beseech G3870 you G5209 therefore, G3767 brethren, G80 by G1223 the G3588 mercies G3628 of God, G2316 that ye present G3936 your G5216 bodies G4983 a living G2198 sacrifice, G2378 holy, G40 acceptable G2101 unto God, G2316 which is your G5216 reasonable G3050 service. G2999 [2] And G2532 be G4964 not G3361 conformed G4964 to this G5129 world: G165 but G235 be ye transformed G3339 by the G3588 renewing G342 of your G5216 mind, G3563 that G1519 ye G5209 may prove G1381 what G5101 is that G3588 good, G18 and G2532 acceptable, G2101 and G2532 perfect, G5046 will G2307 of God. G2316 [3] For G1063 I say, G3004 through G1223 the G3588 grace G5485 given G1325 unto me, G3427 to every man G3956 that G3588 is G5607 among G1722 you, G5213 not G3361 to think G5252 of himself more highly G5252 than G3844 G3739 he ought G1163 to think; G5426 but G235 to think G5426 G1519 soberly, G4993§ according as G5613 God G2316 hath dealt G3307 to every man G1538 the measure G3358 of faith. G4102 [4] For G1063 as G2509 we have G2192 many G4183 members G3196 in G1722 one G1520 body, G4983 and G1161 all G3956 members G3196 have G2192 not G3756 the G3588 same G846 office: G4234 [5] so G3779 we, G2070 being many, G4183 are G2070 one G1520 body G4983 in G1722 Christ, G5547 and G1161 every G2596 one G1520 members G3196 one of another. G240 [6] Having G2192 then G1161 gifts G5486 differing G1313 according G2596 to the G3588 grace G5485 that G3588 is given G1325 to us, G2254 whether G1535 prophecy, G4394 let us prophesy according G2596 to the G3588 proportion G356 of faith; G4102 [7] or G1535 ministry, G1248 let us wait on G1722 our ministering: G1248 or G1535 he G3588 that teacheth, G1321 on G1722 teaching; G1319 [8] or G1535 he G3588 that exhorteth, G3870 on G1722 exhortation: G3874 he G3588 that giveth, G3330§ let him do it with G1722 simplicity; G572§ he G3588 that ruleth, G4291 with G1722 diligence; G4710 he G3588 that sheweth mercy, G1653 with G1722 cheerfulness. G2432 [9] Let love G26 be without dissimulation. G505 Abhor G655 that G3588 which is evil; G4190 cleave G2853 to that G3588 which is good. G18 [10] Be kindly affectioned G5387 one G240 to G1519 another G240 with brotherly love; G5360§ in honour G5092 preferring G4285 one another; G240 [11] not G3361 slothful G3636 in business; G4710 fervent G2204 in spirit; G4151 serving G1398 the G3588 Lord; G2962 [12] rejoicing G5463 in hope; G1680 patient G5278 in tribulation; G2347 continuing instant G4342 in prayer; G4335 [13] distributing G2841 to the G3588 necessity G5532 of saints; G40 given G1377 to hospitality. G5381 [14] Bless G2127 them G3588 which persecute G1377 you: G5209 bless, G2127 and G2532 curse G2672 not. G3361 [15] Rejoice G5463 with G3326 them that do rejoice, G5463 and G2532 weep G2799 with G3326 them that weep. G2799 [16] Be of the G3588 same G846 mind G5426 one G240 toward G1519 another. G240 Mind G5426 not G3361 high things, G5308 but G235 condescend G4879 to men of low estate. G5011§ Be G1096 not G3361 wise G5429 in G3844 your own conceits. G1438 [17] Recompense G591 to no man G3367 evil G2556 for G473 evil. G2556 Provide G4306 things honest G2570 in the sight G1799 of all G3956 men. G444 [18] If G1487 it be possible, G1415 as much as lieth in G1537 you, G5216 live peaceably G1514 with G3326 all G3956 men. G444 [19] Dearly beloved, G27 avenge G1556 not G3361 yourselves, G1438 but G235 rather give G1325 place G5117 unto wrath: G3709 for G1063 it is written, G1125 Vengeance G1557 is mine; G1698 I G1473 will repay, G467 saith G3004 the Lord. G2962 [20] Therefore G3767 if G1437 thine G4675 enemy G2190 hunger, G3983 feed G5595 him; G846 if G1437 he thirst, G1372 give G4222 him G846 drink: G4222 for G1063 in G4160 so G5124 doing G4160 thou shalt heap G4987 coals G440 of fire G4442 on G1909 his G846 head. G2776 [21] Be G3528 not G3361 overcome G3528 of G5259 evil, G2556 but G235 overcome G3528 evil G2556 with G1722 good. G18
