Romans:12:1-8
orthjbc@Romans:12:1 @ I appeal to you, therefore, Achim b'Moshiach, through the rachamei Hashem (note:)mercies of G-d(:note), to present your geviyah Bereshis strkjv@47:18, all of your being as a korban chai living sacrifice, kadosh holy and nichoach to Hashem Bereshis strkjv@8:21, which is your spiritual avodas kodesh.
orthjbc@Romans:12:2 @ Stop allowing yourself to be conformed to the Olam Hazeh, but be transformed by your hitkhadeshut haDa'as (note:)regeneration/renewal of knowing(:note), so that you may individually and corporately ascertain what is the ratzon Hashem the will of G-d, what is good, acceptable, and perfect.
orthjbc@Romans:12:3 @ For I say, through the chesed (note:)unmerited favor, grace(:note) given to me, to all who are among you, that you should avoid a false sense of superiority in your thinking; rather exercise shlitah atzmi self-control, thinking with seychel, as G-d has measured to each a measure of emunah. ONE NEW HUMANITY IN THE NEW ADAM OUR MOSHIACH OF THE TECHIYAS HAMESIM: IMPLICATIONS FOR AVODAS KODESH IN HIS ORTHODOX JUDAISM
orthjbc@Romans:12:4 @ For just as in one body we have many members (note:)natural capacities(:note), and all the members do not have the same function,
orthjbc@Romans:12:5 @ so we all are one body in Moshiach, and are individually members one of another--
orthjbc@Romans:12:6 @ having matanot (note:)gifts(:note) which differ in accordance to the chesed unmerited favor, grace given to us. If we speak for G-d as nevi'im prophets, it should be in proportion to the emunah given to us.
orthjbc@Romans:12:7 @ If we offer particular acts of avodas kodesh, it should be used in serving. One who functions as a rabbinic moreh in teaching should be active in teaching.
orthjbc@Romans:12:8 @ One who imparts chizzuk (note:)strengthening, encouragement(:note) should be active in the avodas kodesh ministry of chizzuk. One who makes tzedakah contributions should do so with nedivut generosity. The one in manhigut leadership, with shekidah diligence. The one in bikkur cholim visiting the sick and gemilut chasadim benevolence, with simcha.
