Romans 12:4-21

Romans 12:4-21

[4] For  as  we have  many  members  in  one  body,  and  all  members  have  not  the same  office:  [5] So  being many,  one  body  in  Christ,  and  every  one  members  one of another.  [6] Having  then  gifts  differing  according  to the grace  that is given  whether  prophecy,  let us prophesy according  to the proportion  of faith;  [7] Or  ministry,  let us wait on  our ministering:  or  he that teacheth,  on  teaching;  [8] 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.  [9] Let love  be without dissimulation.  Abhor  that which is evil;  cleave  to that which is good.  [10] Be kindly affectioned  one to another  with brotherly love;  in honour  preferring  one another;  [11] Not  slothful  in business;  fervent  in spirit;  serving  the Lord;  [12] Rejoicing  in hope;  patient  in tribulation;  continuing instant  in prayer;  [13] Distributing  to the necessity  of saints;  given  to hospitality.  [14] Bless  them which persecute  bless,  and  curse  not.  [15] Rejoice  with  them that do rejoice,  weep  with  them that weep.  [16] 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.  [17] Recompense  to no man  evil  for  evil.  Provide  things honest  in the sight  of all  men.  [18] If  it be possible,  as much as lieth in  live peaceably  with  all  men.  [19] Dearly beloved,  avenge  not  yourselves,  but  rather give  place  unto wrath:  for  it is written,  Vengeance  will repay,  saith  the Lord.  [20] if  enemy  hunger,  feed  him;  if  he thirst,  him  drink:  for  doing  thou shalt heap  coals  of fire  on  his  head.  [21] not  overcome  of  evil,  but  overcome  evil  with  good.
