Romans 12
1 Therefore brethren, I am encouraging you* through the mercies of God, to present your* bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, well pleasing to God, which is your* logical divine service. 2 And not to fashion yourselves to this age, but to be transfigured by the renewal of your* mind, *that* you* may be proving in you what is the will of God: the good and acceptable and mature.
3 For* I say, through the grace which was given to me, to everyone who is among you*, not to have high-notions more than what it is essential to be mindful of. But to be mindful of this grace, *that* he should be sensible, as God divided to each one a measure of faith. 4 For* just-as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function; 5 so we, the many, are one body in Christ, and every one members of one another. 6 Now having assorted gifts* according to the grace which was given to us; if prophecy, then prophesy according to the analogy of the faith; 7 if service, in the service; if he who is teaching, in the teaching; 8 if he who is encouraging, in the encouragement; he who is giving, in liberality; he who is governing, do in diligence; he who is showing-mercy to others, do with* joyfulness. 9 Let the love* be non-pretended, abhorring evil things, joining yourselves to what is the good thing. 10 Be tenderly loving to one another in the love of the brethren; being the leader for one another in honor; 11 not lazy in your diligence being zealous in your spirit; serving* in the Lord; 12 rejoicing in the hope; enduring in your affliction; persevering in your prayer; 13 sharing in the needs of the holy-ones; pursuing your hospitality. 14 Speak* well of those who are persecuting you*; speak* well and do* not curse. 15 Ready to rejoice with the ones rejoicing and to weep with the ones weeping. 16 Being mindful of the same things toward one another and not being mindful of the exalted things, but involve yourself with the humble. Do* not become too prudent with yourselves. 17 Repay to no one evil in exchange-for evil. Plan-for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If possible, what is from you should be at peace with all men. 19 Beloved, do not be avenging yourselves, but give* a chance for the wrath of God; for* it has been written, 'Vengeance is for me. I will be repaying, says the Lord. ' {Deu 32:35} 20 Therefore, if your enemy hungers, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for* while doing this, you will be piling up hot-coals of fire upon his head. 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with* good.
