Paul’s Letter to the Romans

chapter 12

Chapters:

Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

verse #2

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

verse #3

For I say through the grace that was given me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

verse #4

For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function,

verse #5

so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another,

verse #6

having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

verse #7

or service, let’s give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;

verse #8

or he who exhorts, to his exhorting; he who gives, let him do it with generosity; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

verse #9

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

verse #10

In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another,

verse #11

not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,

verse #12

rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer,

verse #13

contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.

verse #14

Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse.
