12 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, through the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living, holy, and pleasing sacrifice to God, your rational[fn] service.
2 And do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewal of {the}[fn] mind, so that you may discern what is the will of God, the good and pleasing and perfect.
3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think more highly than one ought to think, but to think so as to be sober-minded, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.
4 [For][fn] Just as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7 if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal [; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness].[fn]
9 Let love be genuine.
Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.
10 Love one another with brotherly affection.
Outdo one another in showing honor.
11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.
12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
13 Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute [you];[fn] [bless][fn] and do not curse them.
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, [[and]][fn] weep with those who weep.
16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.
17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil, taking thought for what is honorable in the sight of [all][fn] people.
18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all people.
19 Do not take revenge, beloved, but leave room for wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”[fn]
20 {But}[fn] if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by doing this you will heap burning coals on his head.
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
