1 Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service. 2 Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

3 For I say through the grace that was given me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith. 4 For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function, 5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another, 6 having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith; 7 or service, let’s give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching; 8 or he who exhorts, to his exhorting; he who gives, let him do it with generosity; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good. 10 In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another, 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord, 12 rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer, 13 contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits. 17 Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. 19 Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, "Vengeance belongs to me; 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 doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head."

21 Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

1 Therefore, I beseech you brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies in living sacrifice, holy, well pleasing unto God, [which is] your rational worship.

2 And be not conformed to this age, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your soul that ye may experience what [is] that good and well pleasing and perfect will of God.

3 Therefore I say through the grace given unto me, to all those that are among you not to obtain more knowledge than is prudent to know, but to obtain knowledge with temperance, each one according to the measure of faith that God has dealt.

4 For in the manner that we have many members in one body, nevertheless all the members do not have the same operation;

5 likewise many of us are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

6 So that having different gifts according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, according to the measure of faith;

7 or ministry, in serving; or he that teaches, in doctrine;

8 he that exhorts, in exhortation; he that gives, [let him do it] in simplicity; he that presides, in earnest care; he that shows mercy, in cheerfulness.

9 [Let] love be without dissimulation, abhorring that which is evil, causing you to come unto that which is good;

10 loving one another with brotherly love, with honour preferring one another;

11 not slothful in earnest care, [but] fervent in [the] Spirit, serving the Lord,

12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, constant in prayer,

13 sharing for the needs of the saints, [and] given to hospitality.

14 Bless those who persecute you: bless, and do not curse.

15 Rejoice with those that rejoice and weep with those that weep.

16 [Be] unanimous among yourselves, not high minded, but accommodating the humble. Do not be wise in your [own] opinion.

17 Not repaying anyone evil for evil; procuring that which is good not only in the sight of God, but even in the sight of all men.

18 If it can be done, as much as [is possible] on your part, live in peace with all men.

19 Not defending yourselves, dearly beloved; but rather give place unto the wrath [of God], for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

20 Therefore, if thine enemy hungers, feed him; if he thirsts, give him drink; for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.:
