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.

^15 (A)Therefore by Him let us continually offer ^(B)the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, ^(C)the fruit of our lips, ^[a]giving thanks to His name.

⁵ you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
