[2 ](/kjv/romans/12/2) 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. [3 ](/kjv/romans/12/3) 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. [4 ](/kjv/romans/12/4) For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: [5 ](/kjv/romans/12/5) So we, *being* many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. [6 ](/kjv/romans/12/6) Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, *let us prophesy* according to the proportion of faith; [7 ](/kjv/romans/12/7) Or ministry, *let us wait* on *our* ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; [8 ](/kjv/romans/12/8) 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 ](/kjv/romans/12/9) *Let* love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. [10 ](/kjv/romans/12/10) *Be* kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; [11 ](/kjv/romans/12/11) Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; [12 ](/kjv/romans/12/12) Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; [13 ](/kjv/romans/12/13) Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. [14 ](/kjv/romans/12/14) Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. [15 ](/kjv/romans/12/15) Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. [16 ](/kjv/romans/12/16) *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 ](/kjv/romans/12/17) Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. [18 ](/kjv/romans/12/18) If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. [19 ](/kjv/romans/12/19) Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but *rather* give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance *is* mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. [20 ](/kjv/romans/12/20) 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. [21 ](/kjv/romans/12/21) Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
