Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

I Urge You To Present Your Bodies To God As a Living Sacrifice, And Renew Your Mind

12 Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the compassions^[a] of God, to present^[b] your bodies as a living holy sacrifice pleasing to God, as your spiritual^[c] worship^[d]. ² And do not be conformed^[e] to this age^[f], but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may be approving what^[g] is the good and pleasing and perfect will of God.

Think Sound-Mindedly About Yourself As God Has Apportioned You The Faith

³ For I say to everyone being among you through the grace having been given to me not to be thinking-highly of yourself beyond what you ought-to think, but to be thinking so as to be sound-minded, as God apportioned^[h] to each a measure^[i] of faith.

For We Are One Body In Christ. Use The Gifts And Faith God Has Given You

⁴ For just as we have many body-parts in one body and all the body-parts do not have the same function, ⁵ in this manner we the many are one body in Christ, and individually body-parts of one another. ⁶ And having different grace-gifts according-to the grace having been given to us, exercise them accordingly^[j]: whether prophecy, in accordance with the proportion^[k] of your faith^[l]; ⁷ or service^[m], in-the-sphere-of ^[n] your service^[o]; or the one teaching, in the sphere of your teaching^[p]; ⁸ or the one exhorting^[q], in the sphere of your exhortation^[r]; the one giving, with^[s] generosity^[t]; the one leading^[u], with diligence; the one showing-mercy, with cheerfulness.
