    12:1 I plead with you therefore, brethren, by the compassionsof God, to present all your faculties to Him as a living and holy sacrifice acceptable to Him. This with you will be an act of reasonable worship.

    12:2 And do not follow the customs of the present age, but be transformed by the entire renewal of your minds, so that you may learn by experience what God's will is--that will which is good and beautiful and perfect.

    12:3 For through the authority graciously given to me I warn every individual among you not to value himself unduly, but to cultivate sobriety of judgement in accordance with the amount of faith which God has allotted to each one.

    12:4 For just as there are in the one human body many parts, and these parts have not all the same function;

    12:5 so collectively we form one body in Christ, while individually we are linked to one another as its members.

    12:6 But since we have special gifts which differ in accordance with the diversified work graciously entrusted to us, if it is prophecy, let the prophet speak in exact proportion to his faith;

    12:7 if it is the gift of administration, let the administrator exercise a sound judgement in his duties.

    12:8 The teacher must do the same in his teaching; and he who exhorts others, in his exhortation. He who gives should be liberal; he who is in authority should be energetic and alert; and he who succours the afflicted should do it cheerfully.

    12:9 Let your love be perfectly sincere. Regard with horror what is evil; cling to what is right.

    12:10 As for brotherly love, be affectionate to one another; in matters of worldly honour, yield to one another.

    12:11 Do not be indolent when zeal is required. Be thoroughly warm-hearted, the Lord's own servants,

    12:12 full of joyful hope, patient under persecution, earnest and persistent in prayer.

    12:13 Relieve the necessities of God's people; always practise hospitality.

    12:14 Invoke blessings on your persecutors--blessings, not curses.

    12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.

    12:16 Have full sympathy with one another. Do not give your mind to high things, but let humble ways content you.

    12:17 Pay back to no man evil for evil.

    12:18 If you can, so far as it depends on you, live at peace with all the world.

    12:19 Do not be revengeful, my dear friends, but give way before anger; for it is written, <"`Revenge belongs to Me: I will pay back,'> says the Lord."

    12:20 On the contrary, therefore, food; if he is thirsty, quench his thirst. For by doing this you will be heaping burning coals upon his head.>

    12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome the evil with goodness.
