Romans 12 Paul beseeched brothers to present bodies a living sacrifice. Don't think of yourself more highly than you ought to. Exhortation regarding daily life.
012:001 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
012:002 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
012:003 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
012:004 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
012:005 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
012:006 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
012:007 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
012:008 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
012:009 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
012:010 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
012:011 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
012:012 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
012:013 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
012:014 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
012:015 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
012:016 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
012:017 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
012:018 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
012:019 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
012:020 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
012:021 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
