Doxology

33 Oh, the depth of the riches(A) of the wisdom and[a] knowledge of God!(B)
    How unsearchable his judgments,
    and his paths beyond tracing out!(C)
34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord?
    Or who has been his counselor?”[b](D)
35 “Who has ever given to God,
    that God should repay them?”[c](E)
36 For from him and through him and for him are all things.(F)
    To him be the glory forever! Amen.(G)

A Living Sacrifice

12 Therefore, I urge you,(H) brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice,(I) holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform(J) to the pattern of this world,(K) but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.(L) Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is(M)—his good, pleasing(N) and perfect will.

Humble Service in the Body of Christ

For by the grace given me(O) 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. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,(P) so in Christ we, though many, form one body,(Q) and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts,(R) according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying,(S) then prophesy in accordance with your[d] faith;(T) if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach;(U) if it is to encourage, then give encouragement;(V) if it is giving, then give generously;(W) if it is to lead,[e] do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
