I appeal to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

For by the grace given to me I say to every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith which God has assigned him.

Let love be genuine. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.

Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith;

For as in one body we have many members, and all the members do not have the same function,

Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay," says the Lord.

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; outdo one another in showing honor.

Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation, be faithful in prayer.

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

Repay no one evil for evil, but have regard for what is noble in the sight of all.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

Contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality.

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited.

Never be lacking in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.

if service, let us use it in our serving; he who teaches, in his teaching;

he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

No, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head."
