Romans 12:1-11

1ThereforeG3767 I urgeG3870 youG4771, brothersG80, on account ofG1223 God’sG2316 mercyG3628, to offerG3936 yourG4771 bodiesG4983 as livingG2198 sacrificesG2378, holyG40 and pleasingG2101 to GodG2316, which isG3588 yourG4771 spiritualG3050 service of worshipG2999.1 2Do not be conformedG3361G4964 to thisG3778 worldG165, butG235 be transformedG3339 by theG3588 renewingG342 ofG3588 your mindG3563. ThenG1519 youG4771 will be able to test and approveG1381 whatG5101 is theG3588 goodG18, pleasingG2101, andG2532 perfectG5046 willG2307 of GodG2316.

3ForG1063 byG1223 theG3588 graceG5485 givenG1325 meG1473 I sayG3004 to every oneG3956 ofG1722 youG4771: Do not think of yourselfG3361G5252 more highlyG3844G3739 than you oughtG1163, butG235 think of yourselfG5426 withG1519 sober judgmentG4993, according toG5613 the measureG3358 of faithG4102 GodG2316 has givenG3307 you. 4Just asG2509 each of us hasG2192 oneG1520 bodyG4983 withG1722 manyG4183 membersG3196, andG1161 notG3756 allG3956 membersG3196 haveG2192 theG3588 sameG846 functionG4234, 5soG3779 inG1722 ChristG5547 we who areG1510 manyG4183 are oneG1520 bodyG4983, andG1161 eachG2596 memberG3196 belongs to oneG1520 anotherG240.

We haveG2192 differentG1313 giftsG5486 according toG2596 theG3588 graceG5485 givenG1325 usG1473. IfG1535 one’s gift is prophecyG4394, let him use itG2596 in proportionG356 toG3588 his faithG4102; 7if it is servingG1248, let him serveG1248; if it is teachingG1321, let him teachG1319; 8if it is encouragingG3870, let him encourageG3874; if it is givingG3330, let him give generouslyG572; if it is leadingG4291, let him lead withG1722 diligenceG4710; if it is showing mercyG1653, let him do it cheerfullyG2432.

LoveG26 must be sincereG505. DetestG655 whatG3588 is evilG4190; cling toG2853 whatG3588 is goodG18. 10Be devotedG5387 toG1519 one anotherG240 in brotherly loveG5360. Outdo yourselvesG4285 in honoringG5092 one anotherG240.

11Do not letG3361 your zealG4710 subsideG3636; keep your spiritual fervorG2204G3588G4151, servingG1398 theG3588 LordG2962.
