Romans 12

Dedicated Service

1Therefore ^(A)I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to ^(B)present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

2And do not ^(C)be conformed to ^(D)this world, but be transformed by the ^(E)renewing of your mind, so that you may ^(F)prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

3For through ^(G)the grace given to me I say to everyone among you ^(H)not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to ^(I)each a measure of faith.

4For ^(J)just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function,

5so we, ^(K)who are many, are ^(L)one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

6Since we have gifts that ^(M)differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if ^(N)prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith;

7if ^(O)service, in his serving; or he who ^(P)teaches, in his teaching;

8or he who ^(Q)exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with ^[a](R)liberality; ^(S)he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with ^(T)cheerfulness.

9Let ^(U)love be without hypocrisy ^(V)Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good.

10Be ^(W)devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another ^(X)in honor;

11not lagging behind in diligence, ^(Y)fervent in spirit, ^(Z)serving the Lord;

12^(AA)rejoicing in hope, ^(AB)persevering in tribulation, ^(AC)devoted to prayer,

13^(AD)contributing to the needs of the saints, ^(AE)practicing hospitality.

14^(AF)Bless those who persecute ^[b]you; bless and do not curse.

15^(AG)Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.

16^(AH)Be of the same mind toward one another; ^(AI)do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly ^(AJ)Do not be wise in your own estimation.

17^(AK)Never pay back evil for evil to anyone ^(AL)Respect what is right in the sight of all men.

18If possible, ^(AM)so far as it depends on you, ^(AN)be at peace with all men.

19^(AO)Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "^(AP)VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord.

20"^(AQ)BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD."

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