1 | I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [to] your reasonable service |
2 | And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God, the good and acceptable and perfect. |
3 | By grace given to me, to every man that is among you, not to think [about] [himself] more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according to the measure of faith God has given you. |
4 | For as in one body we have many members, but not all members of the same thing, |
5 | so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. |
6 | And, according to the grace given us, we have a variety of talents, [then] [Do you have] prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of faith; |
7 | [Do you have] ministry [abide] in service; Master Li, --In doctrine; |
8 | Do exhort warner; distributors of whether [Let Him] with simplicity; Head there, [leader become] with diligence; Do benefactor, [charitable] with cheerfulness. |
9 | Love [let it be] without hypocrisy; Abhor evil, cling to what is good; |
10 | Love one another with mutual affection; in honor preferring one another; |
eleven | Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; Serving the Lord; |
12 | rejoicing in hope; in sorrow [be] patient, constant in prayer; |
13 | to the needs of the saints; covet of hospitality. |
14 | Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. |
15 | Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. |
16 | Be of one mind among yourselves; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; do not dream about themselves; |
17 | Repay no one evil for evil, but take care to do good to all men. |
18 | If possible, on your part, live at peace with all men. |
19 | Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath [of God]. For it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord. |
20 | So, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt his head heap coals of fire. |
21 | Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. |
