Dedicated Service |
|
|
 |
Romans 12:1
|
|
Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies
of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God,
which is your spiritual service of worship. |
|
|
|
Romans 12:2
|
|
And do not be conformed to this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will
of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. |
|
|
|
Romans 12:3
|
|
For through the grace given to me I say to everyone
among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think
so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. |
|
|
|
Romans 12:4
|
|
For just as we have many members in one body
and all the members do not have the same function, |
|
|
|
Romans 12:5
|
|
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ,
and individually members one of another. |
|
|
|
Romans 12:6
|
|
Since we have gifts that differ according to
the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if prophecy,
according to the proportion of his faith; |
|
|
|
Romans 12:7
|
|
if service, in his serving; or he who teaches,
in his teaching; |
|
|
|
Romans 12:8
|
|
or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who
gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with
cheerfulness. |
|
|
|
Romans 12:9
|
|
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is
evil; cling to what is good. |
|
|
|
Romans 12:10
|
|
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love;
give preference to one another in honor; |
|
|
|
Romans 12:11
|
|
not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in
spirit, serving the Lord; |
|
|
|
Romans 12:12
|
|
rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation,
devoted to prayer, |
|
|
|
Romans 12:13
|
|
contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing
hospitality. |
|
|
|
Romans 12:14
|
|
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do
not curse. |
|
|
|
Romans 12:15
|
|
Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with
those who weep. |
|
|
|
Romans 12:16
|
|
Be of the same mind toward one another; do not
be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.
|
|
|
|
Romans 12:17
|
|
Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect
what is right in the sight of all men. |
|
|
|
Romans 12:18
|
|
If possible, so far as it depends on you, be
at peace with all men. |
|
|
|
Romans 12:19
|
|
Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave
room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,"
says the Lord. |
|
|
|
Romans 12:20
|
|
"BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND
IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS
ON HIS HEAD." |
|
|
|
Romans 12:21
|
|
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil
with good. |
