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.
2
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.
3
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.
4
For
as
we
have
many
members
in
one
body,
and
all
members
have
not
the
same
office:
5
So
we,
[being]
many,
are
one
body
in
Christ,
and
every
one
members
one
of
another.
6
Having
then
gifts
differing
according
to
the
grace
that
is
given
to
us,
whether
prophecy,
[let
us
prophesy]
according
to
the
proportion
of
faith;
7
Or
ministry,
[let
us
wait]
on
[our]
ministering:
or
he
that
teacheth,
on
teaching;
8
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.
9
[Let]
love
be
without
dissimulation.
Abhor
that
which
is
evil;
cleave
to
that
which
is
good.
10
[Be]
kindly
affectioned
one
to
another
with
brotherly
love;
in
honour
preferring
one
another;
11
Not
slothful
in
business;
fervent
in
spirit;
serving
the
Lord;
12
Rejoicing
in
hope;
patient
in
tribulation;
continuing
instant
in
prayer;
13
Distributing
to
the
necessity
of
saints;
given
to
hospitality.
14
Bless
them
which
persecute
you:
bless,
and
curse
not.
15
Rejoice
with
them
that
do
rejoice,
and
weep
with
them
that
weep.
16
[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.
17
Recompense
to
no
man
evil
for
evil.
Provide
things
honest
in
the
sight
of
all
men.
18
If
it
be
possible,
as
much
as
lieth
in
you,
live
peaceably
with
all
men.
19
Dearly
beloved,
avenge
not
yourselves,
but
[rather]
give
place
unto
wrath:
for
it
is
written,
Vengeance
[is]
mine;
I
will
repay,
saith
the
Lord.
20
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.
21
Be
not
overcome
of
evil,
but
overcome
evil
with
good.
