Romanos 12

¹ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 12:1 Greek belonging to the reason. __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ spiritual __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 12:1 Or, worship __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ service. ² And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 12:2 Or, the will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ the good and __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 12:2 Greek well-pleasing. __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ acceptable and perfect will of God. ³ For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith. ⁴ For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office: ⁵ so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and severally members one of another. ⁶ And having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith; ⁷ or ministry, let us give ourselves to our ministry; or he that teacheth, to his teaching; ⁸ or he that exhorteth, to his exhorting: he that giveth, let him do it with liberality; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness. ⁹ Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. ¹⁰ In love of the brethren be tenderly affectioned one to another; in honor preferring one another; ¹¹ in diligence not slothful; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; ¹² rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing stedfastly in prayer; ¹³ communicating to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality. ¹⁴ Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not. ¹⁵ Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep. ¹⁶ Be of the same mind one toward another. Set not your mind on high things, but condescend to __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 12:16 Or, them __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ things that are lowly. Be not wise in your own conceits. ¹⁷ Render to no man evil for evil. Take thought for things honorable in the sight of all men. ¹⁸ If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men. ¹⁹ Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath of God : for it is written, __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 12:19 Dt. 32:35. __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord. ²⁰ But if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head. ²¹ Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
