          DASV: Romans 12    

1 Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present
your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God,
which is your spiritual worship.
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by
the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is
the good and pleasing and perfect will of God.
3 For by the grace that was given me, I tell everyone among you,
not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think;
but so to think with sound judgment, each one as God has
assigned a measure of faith.
4 For just as we have many members in one body, and not all
the members have the same function,
5 so we who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually
we are members one of another.
6 And we have different gifts according to the grace that was
given to us, if prophecy, then use it in proportion to faith.
7 If it is service, then use it to serve; if it is teaching,
then teach;
8 if it is exhortation, then exhort; if it is giving, do so
generously; if it is ruling, then do it with diligence; if
doing acts of mercy, do it with cheerfulness.

9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil, cling to
what is good.
10 Love each other with mutual devotion, showing honor to one
another.
11 Do not be lazy in zeal; be fervent in spirit, serving
the Lord.
12 Rejoice in hope; be patient in suffering; be persistent
in prayer.
13 Contribute to the needs of the saints; practice hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless, and do not curse.
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.
16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be arrogant,
but associate with the lowly.
Do not be wise in your own estimation.
17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be concerned about things
honorable in the sight of all.
18 If it is possible, as much as it depends on you, be at
peace with all.
19 Never take revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath
of God. For it is written, "Vengeance is mine; I will
repay, says the Lord."
20 But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty,
give him a drink; for in doing this you will heap coals
of fire on his head.
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
