Romans 12:1-11

A Living and Holy Sacrifice

Therefore ^aI exhort you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to ^bpresent your bodies as a sacrifice—living, holy, and pleasing to God, which is your ¹spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not ^abe conformed to ^bthis ¹world, but be transformed by the ^crenewing of your mind, so that you may ^dapprove what the will of God is, that which is good and pleasing and ²perfect.
3 For through ^athe grace given to me I say to each one among you ^bnot to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound thinking, as God has allotted to ^ceach a measure of faith. 4 For ^ajust as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, 5 so we, ^awho are many, are ^bone body in Christ, and individually members one of another, 6 but having gifts that ^adiffer according to the grace given to us: whether ^bprophecy, ¹in agreement with the faith; 7 or ¹^aservice, in his serving; or he who ^bteaches, in his teaching; 8 or he who ^aexhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with ¹^bgenerosity; ^che who ²leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with ^dcheerfulness.
9 Let ^alove be without hypocrisy—by ^babhorring what is evil, clinging to what is good, 10 being ^adevoted to one another in brotherly love, ¹giving preference to one another ^bin honor, 11 not lagging behind in diligence, being ^afervent in spirit, ^bserving the Lord,
