Romans 12:1-8
A Living Sacrifice
aI appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, bto present your bodies cas a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 aDo not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by bthe renewal of your mind, that by testing you may cdiscern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Gifts of Grace
3 For aby the grace given to me I say to everyone among you bnot to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, ceach according to dthe measure of faith that God has assigned. 4 For aas in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, 5 so we, athough many, bare one body in Christ, and individually cmembers one of another. 6 aHaving gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if bprophecy, cin proportion to our faith; 7 if aservice, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; athe one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with bcheerfulness.
