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.
12:2 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.
12:3 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.
12:4 For* just-as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function;
12:5 so we, the many, are one body in Christ, and every one members of one another.
12:6 Now having assorted gifts* according to the grace which was given to us; if prophecy, then prophesy according to the analogy of the faith;
12:7 if service, in the service; if he who is teaching, in the teaching;
12:8 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.
12:9 Let the love* be non-pretended, abhorring evil things, joining yourselves to what is the good thing.
12:10 Be tenderly loving to one another in the love of the brethren; being the leader for one another in honor;
12:11 not lazy in your diligence being zealous in your spirit; serving* in the Lord;
12:12 rejoicing in the hope; enduring in your affliction; persevering in your prayer;
12:13 sharing in the needs of the holy-ones; pursuing your hospitality.
12:14 Speak* well of those who are persecuting you*; speak* well and do* not curse.
12:15 Ready to rejoice with the ones rejoicing and to weep with the ones weeping.
12:16 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.
12:17 Repay to no one evil in exchange-for evil. Plan-for good things in the sight of all men.
12:18 If possible, what is from you should be at peace with all men.
12:19 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}
12:20 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.
12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with* good.
