Romans 12:1-3

1Therefore 1I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to 2present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, 3acceptable to God, which is your 4spiritual service of worship. 2And do not 5be conformed to 6this 7world, but be transformed by the 8renewing of your mind, so that you may 9 10prove what the will of God is, that which is good and 11acceptable and perfect.

3For through 12the grace given to me I say to everyone among you 13not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to 14each a measure of faith.
