Romans:12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
For as we have many members in one body ,
and all members have not the same office :
*
So we ,
being many ,
are one body in Christ ,
and every one members one of another .
*
Having then gifts differing 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 that teacheth ,
on teaching ;
*
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 .
*
Let love be without dissimulation .
Abhor that which is evil ;
cleave to that which is good .
*
Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love ;
in honour preferring one another ;
*
Not slothful in business ;
fervent in spirit ;
serving the Lord ;
*
Rejoicing in hope ;
patient in tribulation ;
continuing instant in prayer ;
*
Distributing to the necessity of saints ;
given to hospitality .
*
Bless them which persecute you :
bless ,
and curse not .
*
Rejoice with them that do rejoice ,
and weep with them that weep .
*
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 .
*
Recompense to no man evil for evil .
Provide things honest in the sight of all men .
*
If it be possible ,
as much as lieth in you ,
live peaceably with all men .
*
Dearly beloved ,
avenge not yourselves ,
but rather give place unto wrath :
for it is written ,
Vengeance is mine ;
I will repay ,
saith the Lord .
*
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 .
*
Be not overcome of evil ,
but overcome evil with good .
