Romans 12:1-13

1Therefore, brothers and sisters, in view of the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your true worship.

2Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

3For by the grace given to me, I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he should think. Instead, think sensibly, as God has distributed a measure of faith to each one.

4Now as we have many parts in one body, and all the parts do not have the same function,

5in the same way we who are many are one body in Christ and individually members of one another.

6According to the grace given to us, we have different gifts: If prophecy, use it according to the proportion of one’s faith;

7if service, use it in service; if teaching, in teaching;

8if exhorting, in exhortation; giving, with generosity; leading, with diligence; showing mercy, with cheerfulness.

9Let love be without hypocrisy. Detest evil; cling to what is good.

10Love one another deeply as brothers and sisters. Take the lead in honoring one another.

11Do not lack diligence in zeal; be fervent in the Spirit; serve the Lord.

12Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer.

13Share with the saints in their needs; pursue hospitality.
