I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercifulness of God, that ye make your bodies a living sacrifice: holy and acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable serving of God.

And fashion not yourselves like unto this world: But be changed through the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what thing that good, that acceptable, and perfect will of God is.

For I say, through the grace that unto me is given, to every man among you: that no man esteem of himself more than it becometh him to esteem - But that he discreetly judge of himself according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Let love be without dissimulation. Hate that which is evil, and cleave unto that which is good.

Be merry with them that are merry. Weep with them that weep.

Seeing that we have divers gifts according to the grace that is given unto us: if any man have the gift of prophecy, let him have it that it be agreeing unto the faith;

As we have many members in one body, and all members have not one office:

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves but give room unto the wrath of God. For it is written, "Vengeance is mine, and I will reward, saith the Lord."

Be kind one to another, with brotherly love. In giving honour go one before another.

Rejoice in hope. Be patient in tribulation, continue in prayer.

If it be possible, howbeit of your part, have peace with all men.

So we, being many, are one body in Christ - and every man, among ourselves, one another's members.

Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide aforehand things honest in the sight of all men.

Be not overcome of evil: But overcome evil with goodness.

Bless them which persecute you: bless, but curse not.

Distribute unto the necessity of the saints, and diligently to harbour.

Be of like affection one towards another. Be not high minded, but make yourselves equal to them of the lower sort. Be not wise in your own opinions.

Let not that business which ye have in hand be tedious to you. Be fervent in the spirit. Apply yourselves to the time.

Let him that hath an office, wait on his office;

Let him that teacheth take heed to his doctrine; Let him that exhorteth give attendance to his exhortation; If any man give, let him do it with singleness; Let him that ruleth do it with diligence; If any man show mercy let him do it with cheerfulness.

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.
