Romans 12

American Standard Version

1I beseech you thereforeG3767, brethren, by the mercies of GodG2316, to presentG3936 your bodiesG4983 a livingG2198 sacrificeG2378, holyG40, acceptable to GodG2316, which is your spiritual serviceG2999. 2And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformedG3339 by the renewingG342 of your mindG3563, that ye may prove what is the goodG18 and acceptable and perfectG5046 will of GodG2316.

3For I sayG3004, through the graceG5485 that wasG1510 givenG1325 me, to every manG1538 that isG1510 among you, not to thinkG5426 of himself more highly than he oughtG1163 to thinkG5426; but so to thinkG5426 as to thinkG5426 soberly, according as GodG2316 hath dealt to each manG1538 a measureG3358 of faithG4102. 4For even as we have manyG4183 membersG3196 in oneG1520 bodyG4983, and all the membersG3196 have not the sameG846 office: 5so we, who areG1510 manyG4183, areG1510 oneG1520 bodyG4983 in ChristG5547, and severally membersG3196 oneG1520 of another. 6And having giftsG5486 differing accordingG2596 to the graceG5485 that was givenG1325 to us, whether prophecyG4394, let us prophesy accordingG2596 to the proportion of our faithG4102; 7or ministryG1248, let us give ourselves to our ministryG1248; or he that teacheth, to his teachingG1321; 8or he that exhorteth, to his exhortingG3870: he that giveth, let him do it with liberality; he that ruleth, with diligenceG4710; he that showeth mercyG1653, with cheerfulness.

9Let loveG26 be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evilG4190; cleave to that which is goodG18. 10In loveG5360 of the brethren be tenderly affectioned oneG240 to another; in honorG5092 preferring oneG240 another; 11in diligenceG4710 not slothful; ferventG2204 in spiritG4151; servingG1398 the LordG2962; 12rejoicingG5463 in hopeG1680; patient in tribulationG2347; continuingG4342 stedfastly in prayerG4335; 13communicating to the necessities of the saintsG40; given to hospitalityG5381. 14BlessG2127 them that persecuteG1377 you; blessG2127, and curseG2672 not. 15RejoiceG5463 with them that rejoiceG5463; weepG2799 with them that weepG2799. 16Be of the sameG846 mindG5426 oneG240 toward another. Set not your mindG5426 on highG5308 things, but condescend to things that are lowly. Be not wiseG5429 in your ownG1438 conceits. 17RenderG591 to no manG444 evilG2556 for evilG2556. Take thought for thingsG3956 honorable in the sight of all menG444. 18If it be possibleG1415, as much as in you lieth, be at peaceG1514 with all menG444. 19AvengeG1556 not yourselvesG1438, belovedG27, but giveG1325 placeG5117 unto the wrathG3709 of God: for it is writtenG1125, VengeanceG1557 belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the LordG2962. 20But if thine enemyG2190 hungerG3983, feed him; if he thirstG1372, give him to drinkG4222: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fireG4442 upon his headG2776. 21Be not overcomeG3528 of evilG2556, but overcomeG3528 evilG2556 with goodG18.
