為事奉上帝而活

12 所以,弟兄姊妹,我憑上帝的憐憫勸你們獻上自己的身體,作聖潔、蒙上帝悅納的活祭。你們理當這樣事奉。 你們不可追隨世界的潮流,要隨著思想的不斷更新而改變,這樣就能明辨上帝的旨意,知道什麼是良善、純全、蒙祂悅納的。

我憑上帝賜給我的恩典勸告各位,不要自視過高,要照著上帝賜給各人的信心中肯地看待自己。 就像我們身體的各部分有不同的功能, 我們眾人在基督裡組成一個身體,彼此聯結,息息相關。 我們照所得的恩典各有不同的恩賜。說預言的,要按著信心的程度說預言; 服侍的,要忠心服侍;教導的,要專一教導; 勸勉的,要誠心勸勉;施捨的,要慷慨施捨;治理的,要殷勤治理;憐憫的,要甘心憐憫。

相愛相顧

不可虛情假意地愛人。要嫉惡如仇,一心向善。 10 要彼此相愛如同手足,互相尊重,彼此謙讓。 11 要殷勤,不可懶惰,要常常火熱地事奉主。 12 盼望中要有喜樂,患難中要堅忍,禱告要恆切。 13 信徒有缺乏,要慷慨幫助;客人來訪,要熱誠款待。 14 迫害你們的,要為他們祝福;要祝福,不可咒詛。 15 要與喜樂的人同樂,與哀哭的人同哭。 16 要彼此和睦,不可心高氣傲,反要俯就卑微的人,不可自以為聰明。

17 不要以惡報惡。要尊重別人,眾人都認為好的事,應該竭力去做。 18 如果可能,總要盡力與人和睦相處。 19 親愛的弟兄姊妹,不要私自報復,要讓上帝來審判,因為聖經上說:

「主說,『伸冤在我,我必報應。』」

20 所以,

「你的仇敵若餓了,就給他吃的;
若渴了,就給他喝的;
你這樣做是把炭火堆在他頭上。」

21 你不可被惡所勝,反要以善勝惡。

Living Sacrifices to God

12 I (A)beseech[a] you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies (B)a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your [b]reasonable service. And (C)do not be conformed to this world, but (D)be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may (E)prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Serve God with Spiritual Gifts

For I say, (F)through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, (G)not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt (H)to each one a measure of faith. For (I)as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so (J)we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is (K)given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us (L)prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; (M)he who teaches, in teaching; (N)he who exhorts, in exhortation; (O)he who gives, with liberality; (P)he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, (Q)with cheerfulness.

Behave Like a Christian

(R)Let love be without hypocrisy. (S)Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. 10 (T)Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, (U)in honor giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 (V)rejoicing in hope, (W)patient[c] in tribulation, (X)continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 (Y)distributing to the needs of the saints, (Z)given[d] to hospitality.

14 (AA)Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 (AB)Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 (AC)Be of the same mind toward one another. (AD)Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

17 (AE)Repay no one evil for evil. (AF)Have[e] regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, (AG)live peaceably with all men. 19 Beloved, (AH)do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, (AI)“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 Therefore

(AJ)“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but (AK)overcome evil with good.
