IV.— LA CONDUCTA CRISTIANA (12,1—15,13)
La nueva vida en Cristo
12 Por el amor entrañable de Dios les pido, hermanos: preséntense a ustedes mismos como ofrenda viva, santa y agradable a Dios. Ese ha de ser su auténtico culto. 2 No se amolden a los criterios de este mundo; al contrario, déjense transformar y renueven su interior de tal manera que sepan apreciar lo que Dios quiere, es decir, lo bueno, lo que le es grato, lo perfecto.
3 En virtud del don que me ha sido otorgado me dirijo a todos y a cada uno de ustedes para que a nadie se le suban los humos a la cabeza, sino que cada uno se estime en lo justo, conforme al grado de fe que Dios le ha concedido. 4 Pues así como nuestro cuerpo, que es uno, consta de muchos miembros, y cada uno desempeña su cometido, 5 de la misma manera nosotros, siendo muchos, formamos un solo cuerpo en Cristo, y en ese cuerpo cada uno es un miembro al servicio de los demás. 6 Y puesto que tenemos dones diferentes según la gracia que Dios nos ha otorgado, a quien haya concedido hablar en su nombre, hágalo sin apartarse de la fe; 7 el que sirve, que lo haga con diligencia; el que enseña, con dedicación; 8 el que exhorta, aplicándose a exhortar; el encargado de repartir a los necesitados, hágalo con generosidad; el que preside, con solicitud; y el que practica la misericordia, con alegría. 9 No hagan del amor que ustedes tienen una comedia. Aborrezcan el mal y abracen el bien. 10 Ámense de corazón unos a otros como hermanos y que cada uno aprecie a los otros más que a sí mismo. 11 Si se trata de esforzarse, no sean perezosos; manténganse espiritualmente fervientes y prontos para el servicio del Señor. 12 Vivan alegres por la esperanza, animosos en la tribulación y constantes en la oración. 13 Solidarícense con las necesidades de los creyentes; practiquen la hospitalidad; 14 bendigan a los que los persiguen y no maldigan jamás. 15 Alégrense con los que están alegres y lloren con los que lloran. 16 Vivan en plena armonía unos con otros. No ambicionen grandezas, antes bien pónganse al nivel de los humildes. Y no presuman de inteligentes. 17 A nadie devuelvan mal por mal. Esfuércense en hacer el bien ante cualquiera. 18 En cuanto de ustedes dependa, hagan lo posible por vivir en paz con todo el mundo. 19 Y no se tomen la justicia por propia mano, queridos míos; dejen que sea Dios quien castigue, según dice la Escritura:
A mí me corresponde castigar;
yo daré a cada cual su merecido
—dice el Señor—.
20 A ti, en cambio, te dice:
Si tu enemigo tiene hambre, dale de comer;
si tiene sed, dale de beber.
Así harás que su cara le arda de vergüenza.
21 No permitas que te venza el mal, antes bien, vence al mal a fuerza de bien.

The New Life in Christ
12 I appeal to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world[a] but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.[b]
3 For by the grace given to me I bid every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith which God has assigned him. 4 For as in one body we have many members, and all the members do not have the same function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7 if service, in our serving; he who teaches, in his teaching; 8 he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who contributes, in liberality; he who gives aid, with zeal; he who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
Marks of the True Christian
9 Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; 10 love one another with brotherly affection; outdo one another in showing honor. 11 Never flag in zeal, be aglow with the Spirit, serve the Lord. 12 Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 13 Contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly;[c] never be conceited. 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends upon you, live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it[d] to the wrath of God; for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 No, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

A Living Sacrifice
12 Therefore, I urge you,(A) brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice,(B) holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform(C) to the pattern of this world,(D) but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.(E) Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is(F)—his good, pleasing(G) and perfect will.
Humble Service in the Body of Christ
3 For by the grace given me(H) I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. 4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,(I) 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body,(J) and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts,(K) according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying,(L) then prophesy in accordance with your[a] faith;(M) 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach;(N) 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement;(O) if it is giving, then give generously;(P) if it is to lead,[b] do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
Love in Action
9 Love must be sincere.(Q) Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.(R) 10 Be devoted to one another in love.(S) Honor one another above yourselves.(T) 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor,(U) serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope,(V) patient in affliction,(W) faithful in prayer.(X) 13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need.(Y) Practice hospitality.(Z)
14 Bless those who persecute you;(AA) bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.(AB) 16 Live in harmony with one another.(AC) Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.[c] Do not be conceited.(AD)
17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil.(AE) Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.(AF) 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.(AG) 19 Do not take revenge,(AH) my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[d](AI) says the Lord. 20 On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”[e](AJ)
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
