1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, I which is your reasonable service.
[tsk]
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what I is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
[tsk]
3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think I of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
[tsk]
4 For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function,
[tsk]
5 so we, I being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
[tsk]
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, I let us use them: if prophecy, I let us prophesy in proportion to our faith;
[tsk]
7 or ministry, I let us use it in I our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching;
[tsk]
8 he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
[tsk]
9 I Let love I be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.
[tsk]
10 I Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;
[tsk]
11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
[tsk]
12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;
[tsk]
13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.
[tsk]
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
[tsk]
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
[tsk]
16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
[tsk]
17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.
[tsk]
18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.
[tsk]
19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but I rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance I is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord.
[tsk]
20 Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head."
[tsk]
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
[tsk]
