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.
ROMANS 12:1
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.
ROMANS 12:2
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.
ROMANS 12:3
For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
ROMANS 12:4
So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
ROMANS 12:5
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
ROMANS 12:6
Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
ROMANS 12:7
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.
ROMANS 12:8
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
ROMANS 12:9
Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
ROMANS 12:10
Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
ROMANS 12:11
Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
ROMANS 12:12
Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
ROMANS 12:13
Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
ROMANS 12:14
Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
ROMANS 12:15
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.
ROMANS 12:16
Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
ROMANS 12:17
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
ROMANS 12:18
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
ROMANS 12:19
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.
ROMANS 12:20
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
ROMANS 12:21
IMPORTANT: All Scripture text has context and background. Scripture should never be read literally or in isolation. Always seek clarification from religious scholars and teachers. In general, Scripture adheres to four principles: (1) Literal Meaning - What the Scripture says (2) Historical Setting - The story events; how the Scripture was understood in its time (3) Grammar - The surrounding sentence and paragraph; textual context (4) Synthesis - A comparison with similar Scripture to give a better contextual understanding
