Romans 12

1 Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself with sober judgment, according to the measure of faith God has given you.

4 Just as each of us has one body with many members, and not all members have the same function,

5 so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another.

6 We have different gifts according to the grace given us. If one’s gift is prophecy, let him use it in proportion to his faith;

7 if it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach;

8 if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is giving, let him give generously; if it is leading, let him lead with diligence; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

9 Love must be sincere. Detest what is evil; cling to what is good.

10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another.

11 Do not let your zeal subside; keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, persistent in prayer.

13 Share with the saints who are in need. Practice hospitality.

14 Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse.

15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.

16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited.

17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Carefully consider what is right in the eyes of everybody.

18 If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone.

19 Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; 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 so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head.”

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

1 ¶ 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.

2 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.

3 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.

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

5 So we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of faith;

7 Or ministry, [let us wait] on [our] ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

8 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.

9 [Let] love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

10 [Be] kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

16 [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.

17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

20 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.

21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

1 I exhort you, brethren, by the mercy of God, to offer your bodies for sacrifice, living, holy, and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable worship.

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

3 For I say by the grace that is given unto me unto every one of you, that no man think more of himself than he ought to think; but that he think moderately of himself, every man after God hath dealt out the measure of faith.

4 For even as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not one business,

5 So then we many are one body in Christ: but one is another's member.

6 And have many gifts according to the grace that is given unto us.

7 If any man have prophecy, let it be like unto faith. If any man have an office, let him wait for the office. If any man teach, let him wait for the teaching.

8 If any man exhort, let him wait for exhortation. If any man give, let him give plainly. If anyone governs, let him be diligent. If any man show mercy, let him do it with pleasure.

9 Let not love be false. Hate what is bad, cling to what is good.

10 Let brotherly love be cordial one to another. Let one precede the other with reverence.

11 Be not slothful in the things which ye shall do. Be fervent in spirit. Send yourselves into the time.

12 Be joyful in hope; patient in tribulation, persevering in prayer.

13 Attend ye to the needs of the saints. Be glad to give hospitality.

14 Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not.

15 Rejoice with them that rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

16 Have one mind among yourselves. Do not seek after high things, but hold yourselves down to the lowly. (Epistle on the third Sunday after Epiphany.

17 Think not thyself wise. Do not repay evil with evil. Be diligent to be respectable to everyone.

18 If it be possible, as much as is in you, be at peace with all men.

19 Avenge not yourselves, my beloved, but give place unto wrath: for it is written: Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the LORD.

20 If therefore thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink. If thou do this, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.

21 Let not evil overcome thee, but overcome evil with good].
