New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 For as in one body we have many members and not all the members have the same function,(A) 5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. 6 We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith;(B) 7 ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching;(C) 8 the encourager, in encouragement; the giver, in sincerity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness.(D)
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 mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor. 11 Do not lag in zeal; be ardent in spirit; serve the Lord. 12 Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; persevere in prayer.(E) 13 Contribute to the needs of the saints; pursue hospitality to strangers.(F)
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.(G) 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;[a] do not claim to be wiser than you are.(H) 17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.(I) 18 If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.(J) 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave room for the wrath of God,[b] for it is written, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”(K) 20 Instead, “if your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink, for by doing this you will heap burning coals on their heads.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 12:4-21
New International Version
4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,(A) 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body,(B) and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts,(C) according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying,(D) then prophesy in accordance with your[a] faith;(E) 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach;(F) 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement;(G) if it is giving, then give generously;(H) 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.(I) Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.(J) 10 Be devoted to one another in love.(K) Honor one another above yourselves.(L) 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor,(M) serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope,(N) patient in affliction,(O) faithful in prayer.(P) 13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need.(Q) Practice hospitality.(R)
14 Bless those who persecute you;(S) bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.(T) 16 Live in harmony with one another.(U) Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.[c] Do not be conceited.(V)
17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil.(W) Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.(X) 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.(Y) 19 Do not take revenge,(Z) my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[d](AA) 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](AB)
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
