Living Sacrifices to God
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 12
|
|
###### 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, _which is_ your reasonable service.
|
|
###### 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what _is_ that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.Serve God with Spiritual Gifts
|
|
|
|
###### 3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think _of himself_ more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
|
|
###### 4 For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function,
|
|
###### 5 so we, _being_ many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
|
|
###### 6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, _let us use them:_ if prophecy, _let us_ _prophesy_ in proportion to our faith;
|
|
###### 7 or ministry, _let us use it_ in _our_ ministering; he who teaches, in teaching;
|
|
###### 8 he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.Behave Like a Christian
|
|
|
|
###### 9 _Let_ love _be_ without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.
|
|
###### 10 _Be_ kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;
|
|
###### 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
|
|
###### 12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;
|
|
###### 13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.
|
|
|
|
###### 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
|
|
###### 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
|
|
###### 16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
|
|
|
|
###### 17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.
|
|
###### 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.
|
|
###### 19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but _rather_ give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance _is_ Mine, I will repay," says the Lord.
|
|
###### 20 Therefore
|
|
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
|
|
If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
|
|
For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head."
|
|
|
|
###### 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
