A Living and Holy Sacrifice

12 Therefore ^(A)I exhort you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to ^(B)present your bodies as a sacrifice—living, holy, and pleasing to God, which is your ^[a]spiritual service of worship.

² and ^(A)walk in love, just as Christ also ^(B)loved ^[a]us and ^(C)gave Himself up for us, an ^(D)offering and a sacrifice to God ^[b]as a ^(E)fragrant aroma.

¹⁷ But even if I am being ^(A)poured out as a drink offering upon ^(B)the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all.
