Romans:12:1-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Therefore I urge you ,
brothers ,
by the mercies of God ,
to present your bodies a living sacrifice ,
holy ,
acceptable to God ,
which is your spiritual service .
*
Don '
t be conformed to this world ,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind ,
so that you may prove what is the good ,
well-pleasing ,
and perfect will of God .
*
For I say ,
through the grace that was given me ,
to every man who is among you ,
not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think ;
but to think reasonably ,
as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith .
*
For even as we have many members in one body ,
and all the members don '
t have the same function ,
*
so we ,
who are many ,
are one body in Christ ,
and individually members one of another .
*
Having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us ,
if prophecy ,
let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith ;
*
or service ,
let us give ourselves to service ;
or he who teaches ,
to his teaching ;
*
or he who exhorts ,
to his exhorting :
he who gives ,
let him do it with liberality ;
he who rules ,
with diligence ;
he who shows mercy ,
with cheerfulness .
