Living Sacrifices
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.
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.
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.
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
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.
For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function,
So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you.
Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well.
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.
If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.
Love, Zeal, Hope, Hospitality
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.
Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.
Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.
Forgiveness
Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them.
Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep.
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.
Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all!
Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable.
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
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.
