1ThereforeG3767 1I urgeG3870 you, brethrenG80, by the merciesG3628 of GodG2316, to 2presentG3936 your bodiesG4983 a livingG2198 and holyG40 sacrificeG2378, 3acceptableG2101 to GodG2316, which is your 4spiritualG3050 serviceG2999 of worshipG2999. 2And do not 5be conformedG4964 to 6thisG3778 7worldG165, but be transformedG3339 by the 8renewingG342 of your mindG3563, soG1519 that you may 910proveG1381 whatG5101 the willG2307 of GodG2316 is, that whichG18 is goodG18 and 11acceptableG2101 and perfectG5046.

3For throughG1223 12the graceG5485 givenG1325 to me I sayG3004 to everyoneG3956 amongG1722 you 13not to thinkG5252 moreG5252 highlyG5252 of himself thanG3844 he oughtG1163 to thinkG5426; but to thinkG5426 soG1519 as to haveG4993 soundG4993 judgmentG4993, as GodG2316 has allottedG3307 to 14eachG1538 a measureG3358 of faithG4102. 4For 15justG2509 as we haveG2192 manyG4183 membersG3196 in oneG1520 bodyG4983 and allG3956 the membersG3196 do not haveG2192 the sameG846 functionG4234, 5soG3779 we, 16who are manyG4183, are 17oneG1520 bodyG4983 in ChristG5547, and individuallyG2596G1520 membersG3196 oneG1520 of anotherG240. 6Since we haveG2192 giftsG5486 that 18differG1313 accordingG2596 to the graceG5485 givenG1325 to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: ifG1535 19prophecyG4394, 20accordingG2596 to the proportionG356 of his faithG4102; 7ifG1535 2122serviceG1248, in his servingG1248; orG1535 he who 23teachesG1321, in his teachingG1319; 8orG1535 he who 24exhortsG3870, in his exhortationG3874; he who givesG3330, with 2526liberalityG572; 27he who 28leadsG4291, with diligenceG4710; he who showsG1653 mercyG1653, with 29cheerfulnessG2432.

9Let 30loveG26 be withoutG505 hypocrisyG505. 31AbhorG655 whatG4190 is evilG4190; clingG2853 to whatG18 is goodG18. 10Be 32devotedG5387 to oneG240 anotherG240 in brotherlyG5360 loveG5360; 33giveG4285 preferenceG4285 to oneG240 anotherG240 34in honorG5092; 11not laggingG3636 behindG3636 in diligenceG4710, 35ferventG2204 in spiritG4151, 36servingG1398 the LordG2962;
