Romans 11:36-12:8
New American Standard Bible
36 For (A)from Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things. (B)To Him be the glory [a]forever. Amen.
Dedicated Service
12 Therefore (C)I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to (D)present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, [b]acceptable to God, which is your [c]spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not (E)be conformed to (F)this [d]world, but be transformed by the (G)renewing of your mind, so that you may [e](H)prove what the will of God is, that which is good and [f]acceptable and perfect.
3 For through (I)the grace given to me I say to everyone among you (J)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 (K)each a measure of faith. 4 For (L)just as we have many parts in one body and all [g]the body’s parts do not have the same function, 5 so we, (M)who are many, are (N)one body in Christ, and individually parts of one another. 6 However, since we have gifts that (O)differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to use them properly: if (P)prophecy, [h]in proportion to one’s faith; 7 if [i](Q)service, in the act of serving; or the one who (R)teaches, in the act of teaching; 8 or the one who [j](S)exhorts, in the work of [k]exhortation; the one who gives, with [l](T)generosity; (U)the one who [m]is in leadership, with diligence; the one who shows mercy, with (V)cheerfulness.
