Romans 12:1-8

12 God has been kind to you. So I ask you, brothers, give your bodies to him like a living sacrifice. That is, a holy sacrifice. It will please God. And it is what you should do for him.

2 Do not be like the people of this world, but have a new mind. Then you will prove for yourselves what God wants you to do. That will be good. It will please God. And it will be all right.

3 God has given me this gift. So I say this to every one of you. Do not think you are better than you really are. But think of yourself as you are. You are what you are because God has given you something when you believed.

4 In a body there are many parts, but all the parts do not do the same thing.

5 In the same way, we are many people. But we are one body because we are all joined together in Christ. Each one of us is a part of all the others.

6 We have different gifts because God has blessed us in different ways. If a person can speak words from God, he must say what he believes he should say.

7 If a person can help others, he must help others. If a person can teach, he must teach.

8 If a person can talk to others, he must talk to others. If a person can give something, he must give it gladly. If a person can be a leader, he must try to be a good leader. If a person can help someone, he must do it gladly.

Matthew 16:13-20

13 Jesus went to the country of Caesarea Philippi. He asked his disciples, `I am the Son of Man. Whom do people say I am?'

14 They answered, `Some people say you are John the Baptizer. Others say you are Elijah. And others say you are Jeremiah or one of the prophets.'

15 Jesus said to them, `Whom do you say I am?'

16 Simon Peter answered, `You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.'

17 Jesus answered, `Simon, Jonah's son, God has blessed you. No person on earth has showed you this. But my Father in heaven has showed you.

18 I tell you this. You are Peter. On this rock I will build my church. The power of death will not destroy it.

19 I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. What you tie on earth will be tied in heaven. What you set free on earth will be set free in heaven.'

20 Then Jesus said to the disciples, `Do not tell anyone that I am the Christ.'
