 12:1  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.
 12:2  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.
 12:3  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.
 12:4  For as we have many members in one body, and all members
have not the same office:
 12:5  So we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and every
one members one of another.
 12:6  Having then gifts differing according to the grace that
is given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according
to the proportion of faith;
 12:7  Or ministry, [let us wait] on [our] ministering: or he
that teacheth, on teaching;
 12:8  Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth,
[let him do it] with simplicity; he that ruleth, with
diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness.
 12:9  [Let] love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is
evil; cleave to that which is good.
 12:10  [Be] kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly
love; in honour preferring one another;
 12:11  Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving
the Lord;
 12:12  Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing
instant in prayer;
 12:13  Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to
hospitality.
 12:14  Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
 12:15  Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them
that weep.
 12:16  [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.
 12:17  Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things
honest in the sight of all men.
 12:18  If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live
peaceably with all men.
 12:19  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather]
give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine;
I will repay, saith the Lord.
 12:20  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.
 12:21  Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
