ROM 12 ©

12Well then, my brothers, I appeal to you by all the mercy of God to dedicate your bodies as a living sacrifice, consecrated and acceptable to God; that is your cult, a spiritual rite. 2Instead of being moulded to this world, have your mind renewed, and so be transformed in nature, able to make out what the will of God is, namely, what is good and acceptable to him and perfect.

3In virtue of my office, I tell everyone of your number who is self-important, that he is not to think more of himself than he ought to think; he must take a sane view of himself, corresponding to the degree of faith which God has assigned to each. 4In our one body we have a number of members, and the members have not all the same function; 5so too, for all our numbers, we form one Body in Christ and we are severally members one of another. 6Our talents differ with the grace that is given us; if the talent is that of prophecy, let us employ it in proportion to our faith; 7if it is practical service, let us mind our service; the teacher must mind his teaching, 8the speaker his words of counsel; the contributor must be liberal, the superintendent must be in earnest, the sick visitor must be cheerful. 9Let your love be a real thing, with a loathing for evil and a bent for what is good. 10Put affection into your love for the brotherhood; be forward to honour one another; 11never let your zeal flag; maintain the spiritual glow; serve the Lord; 12let your hope be a joy to you; be stedfast in trouble, attend to prayer, 13contribute to needy saints, make a practice of hospitality. 14Bless those who make a practice of persecuting you; bless them instead of cursing them. 15Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16Keep in harmony with one another; instead of being ambitious, associate with humble folk; never be self-conceited. 17Never pay back evil for evil to anyone; aim to be above reproach in the eyes of all; 18be at peace with all men, if possible, so far as that depends on you. 19Never revenge yourselves, beloved, but let the Wrath of God have its way; for it is written, Vengeance is mine, I will exact a requital--the Lord has said it. No,

20

if your enemy is hungry, feed him,

if he is thirsty, give him drink;

for in this way you will make him

feel a burning sense of shame. 21Do not let evil get the better of you; get the better of evil by doing good.
