1 I be­seech you there­fore, brethren, by the mer­cies of God, that ye pre­sent your bod­ies a liv­ing sac­ri­fice, holy, ac­cept­able unto God, which is your rea­son­able ser­vice. 2 And be not con­formed to this world: but be ye trans­formed by the re­new­ing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and ac­cept­able, and per­fect, will of God. 3 For I say, through the grace giv­en unto me, to ev­ery man that is among you, not to think of himself more high­ly than he ought to think; but to think sober­ly, ac­cord­ing as God hath dealt to ev­ery man the mea­sure of faith. 4 For as we have many mem­bers in one body, and all mem­bers have not the same of­fice: 5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and ev­ery one mem­bers one of an­oth­er. 6 Hav­ing then gifts dif­fer­ing ac­cord­ing to the grace that is giv­en to us, whether prophe­cy, let us prophesy ac­cord­ing to the pro­por­tion of faith; 7 Or min­istry, let us wait on our min­is­ter­ing: or he that tea­cheth, on teach­ing; 8 Or he that ex­hort­eth, on ex­hor­ta­tion: he that giveth, let him do it with sim­plic­i­ty; he that ruleth, with dili­gence; he that sheweth mer­cy, with cheer­ful­ness. 9 Let love be with­out dis­sim­u­la­tion. Ab­hor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kind­ly af­fec­tioned one to an­oth­er with broth­er­ly love; in hon­our pre­fer­ring one an­oth­er; 11 Not sloth­ful in busi­ness; fer­vent in spir­it; serv­ing the Lord; 12 Re­joic­ing in hope; pa­tient in tribu­la­tion; con­tin­u­ing in­stant in prayer; 13 Dis­tribut­ing to the ne­ces­si­ty of saints; giv­en to hos­pi­tal­i­ty. 14 Bless them which per­se­cute you: bless, and curse not. 15 Re­joice with them that do re­joice, and weep with them that weep. 16 Be of the same mind one to­ward an­oth­er. Mind not high things, but con­de­scend to men of low es­tate. Be not wise in your own con­ceits. 17 Rec­om­pense to no man evil for evil. Pro­vide things hon­est in the sight of all men. 18 If it be pos­si­ble, as much as li­eth in you, live peace­ably with all men. 19 Dear­ly beloved, avenge not your­selves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is writ­ten, Vengeance is mine; I will re­pay, saith the Lord. 20 There­fore if thine en­e­my hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so do­ing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not over­come of evil, but over­come evil with good.
