* Therefore , brothers , I exhort you through the compassions of God , to present your bodies a living sacrifice , holy , well pleasing to God , [which is ] your reasonable service . * And do not be conformed to this world , but be transformed by the renewing of your mind , that you may prove what is that good and well pleasing and perfect will of God . * For I say , through the grace given to me , to everyone who is among you , not to think of himself too highly , beyond what you should think , but to think soberly , as God has imparted to each one a measure of faith . * For just as we have many members in one body , but all the members do not have the same function , * so we , [being ] many , are one body in Christ , and individually members of one another . * Having then gifts differing according to the grace having been given to us , [let us use them ]: whether prophecy , [let us prophecy ] according to the proportion of faith ; * whether ministry , [let us use it ] in our ministry ; whether teaching ; in the teaching ; * whether exhorting , in the exhortation ; whether sharing , with simplicity ; whether leading , with diligence ; whether showing mercy , with cheerfulness . * [Let ] love [be ] without hypocrisy . Abhor that which is evil . Cling to that which is good . * Be warmly affectionate to one another with brotherly love , in honor preferring one another ; * not lagging in diligence , fervent in spirit , serving the Lord ; * rejoicing in hope , enduring in tribulation , devoted to prayer ; * sharing in the needs of the saints , pursuing hospitality . * Bless those that persecute you ; bless and do not curse . * Rejoice with those that rejoice , and weep with those that weep . * Live in harmony with one another . Do not be proud , but [rather ]associate with the humble . Do not be wise in your own opinion . * Repay no one evil for evil ; providing that which is good before all men . * If possible , as much as depends on you , keeping peace with all men . * Beloved , do not avenge yourselves , but give place to wrath ; for it is written , "Vengeance is Mine , I will repay ,"says the Lord . * Therefore "If your enemy should hunger , feed him ; if he should thirst , give him drink ; for [by ]doing this you will heap burning coals upon his head ." * Do not be overcome by evil , but overcome evil with good .
