1 Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the
mercies of God, to present your bodies a
living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God,
which is your spiritual service.

2 Don’t be conformed to this world, but
be transformed by the renewing of your
mind, so that you may prove what is the
good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of
God.

3 For I say through the grace that was
given me, to everyone who is among you,
not to think of yourself more highly than
you ought to think; but to think reasonably,
as God has apportioned to each person
a measure of faith.

4 For even as we have many members in
one body, and all the members don’t have
the same function,

5 so we, who are many, are one body in
Christ, and individually members of one
another,

6 having gifts differing according to the
grace that was given to us: if prophecy,
let’s prophesy according to the proportion
of our faith;

7 or service, let’s give ourselves to
service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;

8 or he who exhorts, to his exhorting; he
who gives, let him do it with generosity; he
who rules, with diligence; he who shows
mercy, with cheerfulness.

9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor
that which is evil. Cling to that
which is good.

10 In love of the brothers be tenderly
affectionate to one another; in honor prefer
one another,
