A Hymn of Praise

A Living Sacrifice

12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, in view of the mercies of God, I urge you^(G) to present your bodies as a living sacrifice,^(H) holy and pleasing to God; this is your true worship.^{[b] 2} Do not be conformed^(I) to this age,^(J) but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,^(K) so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will^(L) of God.

Many Gifts but One Body

³ For by the grace^(M) given to me, I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he should think.^(N) Instead, think sensibly, as God has distributed a measure of faith^(O) to each one. ⁴ Now as we have many parts in one body,^(P) and all the parts do not have the same function, ⁵ in the same way we who are many^(Q) are one body in Christ^(R) and individually members of one another. ⁶ According to the grace given to us, we have different gifts:^(S) If prophecy,^(T) use it according to the proportion of one’s^[c] faith; ⁷ if service,^(U) use it in service; if teaching,^(V) in teaching; ⁸ if exhorting,^(W) in exhortation; giving, with generosity;^(X) leading,^(Y) with diligence; showing mercy, with cheerfulness.^(Z)
