Romans

12

Background of Book
1 Therefore I exhort you, brothers, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy to God, well-pleasing, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind, for you to prove what is the good and well-pleasing and perfect will of God. 3 For through the grace having been given to me, I say to everyone being among you, not to be high-minded above what it behooves you to think, but to think so as to be sober-minded, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. 4 For just as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, 5 so we, the many, are one body in Christ; and individually members one of another. 6 And we are having different gifts according to the grace having been given to us: if prophecy, according to the proportion of the faith; 7 or service, in the service; or teaching, in the teaching; 8 or exhorting, in the exhortation; giving, in generosity; leading, in diligence; showing mercy, in cheerfulness. 9 Let love be unfeigned: abhorring evil, cleaving to good, 10 devoted to one another in brotherly love, esteeming one another in honor, 11 not lagging in diligence, being fervent in spirit, serving the Lord, 12 rejoicing in hope, being patient in tribulation, being constant in prayer, 13 contributing to the needs of the saints, pursuing hospitality. 14 Bless those persecuting you. Bless and do not curse; 15 to rejoice with the rejoicing, to weep with the weeping; 16 minding the same thing toward one another, not minding the things haughty, but going along with the lowly. Do not be wise in yourselves, 17 repaying to no one evil for evil, providing right before all men; 18 if possible of you, living at peace with all men; 19 never avenging yourselves, beloved; instead give place to wrath, for it has been written: “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 On the contrary, “If your enemy should hunger, feed him; if he should thirst, give him to drink; for doing this, you will heap coals of fire upon his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
