1 Living Sacrifices to God I 1 Cor. 1:10;2 Cor. 10:1–4 beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies Phil. 4:18; Heb. 10:18, 20 a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And Matt. 13:22; Gal. 1:4;1 John 2:15 do not be conformed to this world, but Eph. 4:23; (Titus 3:5) be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may (1 Thess. 4:3) prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
3 Serve God with Spiritual Gifts For I say, Rom. 1:5; 15:15;1 Cor. 3:10; 15:10; Gal. 2:9; Eph. 3:7 through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, Prov. 25:27 not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt (Eph. 4:7) to each one a measure of faith.
4 For 1 Cor. 12:12–14; (Eph. 4:4, 16) as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function,
5 so (1 Cor. 10:17); Gal. 3:28 we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is (John 3:27) given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us Acts 11:27 prophesy in proportion to our faith;
7 or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; Eph. 4:11 he who teaches, in teaching;
8 Acts 15:32 he who exhorts, in exhortation; (Matt. 6:1–3) he who gives, with liberality; (Acts 20:28) he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, 2 Cor. 9:7 with cheerfulness.
9 Behave Like a Christian 2 Cor. 6:6;1 Tim. 1:5 Let love be without hypocrisy. Ps. 34:14 Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.
10 John 13:34;1 Thess. 4:9; Heb. 13:1;2 Pet. 1:7 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, Rom. 13:7; Phil. 2:3; (1 Pet. 2:17) in honor giving preference to one another;
11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
12 Luke 10:20 rejoicing in hope, Luke 21:19 patient in tribulation, Luke 18:1 continuing steadfastly in prayer;
13 1 Cor. 16:1; Heb. 13:16;1 Pet. 4:9 distributing to the needs of the saints, Matt. 25:35;1 Tim. 3:2 given to hospitality.
14 (Matt. 5:44); Luke 6:28;1 Cor. 4:12 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
15 (1 Cor. 12:26) Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
16 Rom. 15:5;2 Cor. 13:11; (Phil. 2:2; 4:2); 1 Pet. 3:8 Be of the same mind toward one another. Jer. 45:5 Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
17 (Matt. 5:39); 1 Pet. 3:9 Repay no one evil for evil. 2 Cor. 8:21 Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.
18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, Heb. 12:14 live peaceably with all men.
19 Beloved, Lev. 19:18 do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, Deut. 32:35; Ps. 94:1;1 Thess. 4:6; Heb. 10:30 “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
20 Therefore 2 Kin. 6:22; Prov. 25:21, 22; (Matt. 5:44); Luke 6:27 “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but (Rom. 12:1, 2) overcome evil with good.
