121I 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.+2And 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.+3For 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.+4For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:+5So we,
being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.+6Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy,
let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;+7Or ministry,
let us wait on
our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;+8Or 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.+
9Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.+10Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;+11Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;+12Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;+13Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.+
14Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.+15Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.+16Be 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.+17Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.+18If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.+19Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but
rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance
is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.+20Therefore 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.+21Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.+
