Romans 12

1 God's mercies must move us to please God. 3 No man must think too well of himself, 6 but attend, every one, on that calling wherein he is placed. 9 Love, and many other duties, are required of us. 19 Revenge is specially forbidden.

 12:1 Therefore 3767 I urge 3870 you, brethren 80, by the mercies 3628 of God 2316, to present 3936 your bodies 4983 a living 2198 and holy 40 sacrifice 2378, acceptable 2101 to God 2316, [which is] your spiritual 3050 service 2999 of worship 2999.

 12:2 And do not be conformed 4964 to this 3778 world 165, but be transformed 3339 by the renewing 342 of your mind 3563, so 1519 that you may prove 1381a what 5101 the will 2307 of God 2316 is, that which 18 is good 18 and acceptable 2101 and perfect 5046.

 12:3 ¶ For through 1223 the grace 5485 given 1325 to me I say 3004 to everyone 3956 among 1722 you not to think 5252 more 5252 highly 5252 of himself than 3844 he ought 1163 to think 5426; but to think 5426 so 1519 as to have 4993 sound 4993 judgment 4993, as God 2316 has allotted 3307 to each 1538 a measure 3358 of faith 4102.

 12:4 For just 2509 as we have 2192 many 4183 members 3196 in one 1520 body 4983 and all 3956 the members 3196 do not have 2192 the same 846 function 4234,

 12:5 so 3779 we, who are many 4183, are one 1520 body 4983 in Christ 5547, and individually 2596 1520 members 3196 one 1520 of another 240.

 12:6 Since we have 2192 gifts 5486 that differ 1313 according 2596 to the grace 5485 given 1325 to us, [each of us is to exercise them accordingly]: if 1535a prophecy 4394, according 2596 to the proportion 356 of his faith 4102;

 12:7 if 1535a service 1248, in his serving 1248; or 1535a he who teaches 1321, in his teaching 1319;

 12:8 or 1535a he who exhorts 3870, in his exhortation 3874; he who gives 3330, with liberality 572; he who leads 4291b, with diligence 4710; he who shows 1653 mercy 1653, with cheerfulness 2432.

 12:9 ¶ [Let] love 26 [be] without 505 hypocrisy 505. Abhor 655 what 4190 is evil 4190; cling 2853 to what 18 is good 18.

 12:10 [Be] devoted 5387 to one 240 another 240 in brotherly 5360 love 5360; give 4285 preference 4285 to one 240 another 240 in honor 5092;

 12:11 not lagging 3636 behind 3636 in diligence 4710, fervent 2204 in spirit 4151, serving 1398 the Lord 2962;

 12:12 rejoicing 5463 in hope 1680, persevering 5278 in tribulation 2347, devoted 4342 to prayer 4335,

 12:13 contributing 2841 to the needs 5532 of the saints 40, practicing 1377 hospitality 5381.

 12:14 ¶ Bless 2127 those 3588 who persecute 1377 you; bless 2127 and do not curse 2672.

 12:15 Rejoice 5463 with those who rejoice 5463, and weep 2799 with those who weep 2799.

 12:16 Be of the same 846 mind 5426 toward 1519 one 240 another 240; do not be haughty 5308 in mind 5426, but associate 4879 with the lowly 5011. Do not be wise 5429 in your own 1438 estimation 1438.

 12:17 Never 3367 pay 591 back 591 evil 2556 for evil 2556 to anyone 3367. Respect 4306 what 2570 is right 2570 in the sight 1799 of all 3956 men 444.

 12:18 If 1487 possible 1415, so far 3588 as it depends 1537 on you, be at peace 1514 with all 3956 men 444.

 12:19 Never 3361 take 1556 your own 1438 revenge 1556, beloved 27, but leave 1325 room 5117 for the wrath 3709 [of God], for it is written 1125, “VENGEANCE 1557 IS MINE 1699, I WILL REPAY 467,” says 3004 the Lord 2962.

 12:20 “BUT IF 1437 YOUR ENEMY 2190 IS HUNGRY 3983, FEED 5595 HIM, AND IF 1437 HE IS THIRSTY 1372, GIVE 4222 HIM A DRINK 4222; FOR IN SO 3778 DOING 4160 YOU WILL HEAP 4987 BURNING 4442 COALS 440 ON HIS HEAD 2776.”

 12:21 Do not be overcome 3528 by evil 2556, but overcome 3528 evil 2556 with good 18.
