Since? then the? divine? apostle? has prepared? the? discourse? here? and? recounts? the? dispensation? of? our? Savior? Jesus? Christ?, offering up? the? hymn? to? the? Father? and? the? Holy? Spirit?: that? from? Him? and? through? Him? and? unto? Him? are? all things?; to Him? be the? glory? forever?, Amen?. I appeal? therefore? to you?, brothers?, by? the? mercies? of God?, to present? your? bodies? as a? living? sacrifice?, holy?, well-pleasing? to God?, which is? your? rational? worship?. And? do not? be conformed? to this? age?, but? be transformed? by the? renewal? of your? mind?, so that? you? may discern? what? is the? will? of God?, what is? good? and? well-pleasing? and? perfect?. For I say? through? the? grace? that has been given? to me? to everyone? who is? among? you?, not? to think too highly? beyond? what? it is necessary? to think?, but? to think? so as? to be sober-minded?, as? God? has apportioned? to each? a measure? of faith?. For just as? in? one? body? we have? many? members?, and? all? the? members? do not? have? the? same? function?, so? we, the? many?, are? one? body? in? Christ?, and? individually? members? of one another?. But having? gifts? that differ? according to? the? grace? given? to us?, whether? prophecy?, according to? the? proportion? of faith?; whether? service?, in? service?; whether? the one? who teaches?, in? teaching?; whether? the one? who exhorts?, in? exhortation?; the one? who contributes?, in? generosity?; the one? who leads?, with? diligence?; the one? who shows mercy?, with? cheerfulness?. Let love be? genuine?; abhorring? what is? evil?, clinging? to what is? good?; loving one another? with brotherly affection?, outdoing? one another? in honor?; not? lagging? in diligence?, being fervent? in spirit?, serving? the Lord?; rejoicing? in hope?, enduring? in tribulation?, persevering? in prayer?; contributing? to the? needs? of the? saints?, pursuing? hospitality?. Bless? those who? persecute? you?; bless? and? do not? curse?. Rejoice? with? those who rejoice? and? weep? with? those who weep?. Think? the same? toward? one another?; not? thinking? on high things? but? associating? with? the lowly?. Do not? become? wise? in? your own estimation?; repaying? no one? evil? for? evil?, taking thought for? noble things? before? all? men?; if? possible?, so far as it depends? on you?, living at peace? with? all? men?. Not? avenging? yourselves?, beloved?, but? give? place? to? wrath?, for? it is written?: Vengeance is mine?, I? will repay?, says? the Lord?. If? therefore? your enemy? is hungry?, feed? him?; if? he is thirsty?, give? him drink?; for? by doing? this? you will heap? coals? of fire? upon? his? head?. Do not? be overcome? by? evil?, but? overcome? evil? with? good?.
