* I request you brothers , by the mercies of God , that you present your bodies a living sacrifice , holy , acceptable to God , which is your reasonable service . * Do not be conformed to this world . But be transformed by the renewing of your mind . Prove what is the good , acceptable , and perfect will of God . * I say through the grace given to me that every man among you should not think more highly of himself than he ought to think . But to think soberly , just as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith . * For we have many members in one body and all members do not have the same function . * These many members are one body in Christ , and every one , individually , is a member one of the other . * We have gifts that differ according to the grace that is given to us . Whether prophecy , let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith ; * or ministry , let us wait on our ministering ; or he who teaches on teaching ; * or he who exhorts ; on exhortation ; he who gives let him do it with liberality ; he who rules , with diligence ; he who shows mercy , with cheerfulness . * Let love be without hypocrisy . Abhor evil and cling to good . * Be devoted to one another with brotherly love , in honor preferring one another . * Do not lag behind in diligence . Be fervent in spirit serving God . * Rejoice in hope ! Be patient in tribulation . Continue in prayer . * Contribute to the needs of the holy ones and practice hospitality . * Bless those who persecute you . Bless and do not curse . * Rejoice with those who rejoice , and weep with those who weep . * Be of the same mind as others . Do not think lofty things but be led along by lowly things . Do not be wise in your own conceit . * Return evil for evil to no man . Provide honest things in the sight of all men . * When it is possible , be peaceable with all men . * Dearly beloved , do not avenge yourselves , instead leave room for divine punishment , for it is written : Vengeance is mine ; I will repay , says Jehovah . (Deuteronomy strkjv @32:35 ) * Therefore if your enemy is hungry , feed him . If he thirsts , give him drink . For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head . * Do not be evil , but overcome evil with good .
