33 Oh, 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 has known the (A)mind of the Lord?
Or (B)who has become His counselor?”
35 “Or(C) who has first given to Him
And it shall be repaid to him?”

36 For (D)of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, (E)to whom be glory forever. Amen.

Living Sacrifices to God

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

Serve God with Spiritual Gifts

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

Behave Like a Christian

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

33 ω βαθος πλουτου και σοφιας και γνωσεως θεου ως ανεξερευνητα τα κριματα αυτου και ανεξιχνιαστοι αι οδοι αυτου

34 τις γαρ εγνω νουν κυριου η τις συμβουλος αυτου εγενετο

35 η τις προεδωκεν αυτω και ανταποδοθησεται αυτω

36 οτι εξ αυτου και δι αυτου και εις αυτον τα παντα αυτω η δοξα εις τους αιωνας αμην

12 παρακαλω ουν υμας αδελφοι δια των οικτιρμων του θεου παραστησαι τα σωματα υμων θυσιαν ζωσαν αγιαν ευαρεστον τω θεω την λογικην λατρειαν υμων

και μη συσχηματιζεσθε τω αιωνι τουτω αλλα μεταμορφουσθε τη ανακαινωσει του νοος υμων εις το δοκιμαζειν υμας τι το θελημα του θεου το αγαθον και ευαρεστον και τελειον

λεγω γαρ δια της χαριτος της δοθεισης μοι παντι τω οντι εν υμιν μη υπερφρονειν παρ ο δει φρονειν αλλα φρονειν εις το σωφρονειν εκαστω ως ο θεος εμερισεν μετρον πιστεως

καθαπερ γαρ εν ενι σωματι μελη πολλα εχομεν τα δε μελη παντα ου την αυτην εχει πραξιν

ουτως οι πολλοι εν σωμα εσμεν εν χριστω ο δε καθ εις αλληλων μελη

εχοντες δε χαρισματα κατα την χαριν την δοθεισαν ημιν διαφορα ειτε προφητειαν κατα την αναλογιαν της πιστεως

ειτε διακονιαν εν τη διακονια ειτε ο διδασκων εν τη διδασκαλια

ειτε ο παρακαλων εν τη παρακλησει ο μεταδιδους εν απλοτητι ο προισταμενος εν σπουδη ο ελεων εν ιλαροτητι

η αγαπη ανυποκριτος αποστυγουντες το πονηρον κολλωμενοι τω αγαθω

10 τη φιλαδελφια εις αλληλους φιλοστοργοι τη τιμη αλληλους προηγουμενοι

11 τη σπουδη μη οκνηροι τω πνευματι ζεοντες τω κυριω δουλευοντες

12 τη ελπιδι χαιροντες τη θλιψει υπομενοντες τη προσευχη προσκαρτερουντες

13 ταις χρειαις των αγιων κοινωνουντες την φιλοξενιαν διωκοντες

33 O depth of riches, and wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable His judgments, and untraceable His ways!

34 for who did know the mind of the Lord? or who did become His counsellor?

35 or who did first give to Him, and it shall be given back to him again?

36 because of Him, and through Him, and to Him [are] the all things; to Him [is] the glory -- to the ages. Amen.

12 I call upon you, therefore, brethren, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a sacrifice -- living, sanctified, acceptable to God -- your intelligent service;

and be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what [is] the will of God -- the good, and acceptable, and perfect.

For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith,

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

so we, the many, one body are in Christ, and members each one of one another.

And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy -- `According to the proportion of faith!'

or ministration -- `In the ministration!' or he who is teaching -- `In the teaching!'

or he who is exhorting -- `In the exhortation!' he who is sharing -- `In simplicity!' he who is leading -- `In diligence?' he who is doing kindness -- `In cheerfulness.'

The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;

10 in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another;

11 in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the Lord serving;

12 in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;

13 to the necessities of the saints communicating; the hospitality pursuing.

33 Oh, the depth of (A)the riches, [a]both of the (B)wisdom and knowledge of God! (C)How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! 34 For (D)who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor? 35 Or (E)who has first given to Him, [b]that it would be paid back to him? 36 For (F)from Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things. (G)To Him be the glory [c]forever. Amen.

Dedicated Service

12 Therefore (H)I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to (I)present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, [d]acceptable to God, which is your [e]spiritual service of worship. And do not (J)be conformed to (K)this [f]world, but be transformed by the (L)renewing of your mind, so that you may [g](M)prove what the will of God is, that which is good and [h]acceptable and perfect.

For through (N)the grace given to me I say to everyone among you (O)not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to (P)each a measure of faith. For (Q)just as we have many parts in one body and all [i]the body’s parts do not have the same function, so we, (R)who are many, are (S)one body in Christ, and individually parts of one another. However, since we have gifts that (T)differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to use them properly: if (U)prophecy, [j]in proportion to one’s faith; if [k](V)service, in the act of serving; or the one who (W)teaches, in the act of teaching; or the one who [l](X)exhorts, in the work of [m]exhortation; the one who gives, with [n](Y)generosity; (Z)the one who [o]is in leadership, with diligence; the one who shows mercy, with (AA)cheerfulness.

[p](AB)Love must be free of hypocrisy. (AC)Detest what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be (AD)devoted to one another in brotherly love; [q]give preference to one another (AE)in honor, 11 not lagging behind in diligence, (AF)fervent in spirit, (AG)serving the Lord; 12 (AH)rejoicing in hope, (AI)persevering in tribulation, (AJ)devoted to prayer, 13 (AK)contributing to the needs of the [r]saints, [s](AL)practicing hospitality.
