Bible, King James Version
Romans
Rom.12
[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.
