Romans 12:1–8

Living Sacrifices to God

12I ^abeseech ¹you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies ^ba living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your ²reasonable service. ²And ^cdo not be conformed to this world, but ^dbe transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may ^eprove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Serve God with Spiritual Gifts

³For I say, ^fthrough the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, ^gnot to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt ^hto each one a measure of faith. ⁴For ⁱas we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, ⁵so ^jwe, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. ⁶Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is ^kgiven to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us ^lprophesy in proportion to our faith; ⁷or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; ^mhe who teaches, in teaching; ⁸ⁿhe who exhorts, in exhortation; ^ohe who gives, with liberality; ^phe who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, ^qwith cheerfulness.
