         Paul’s Letter To The Romans

1 -  I appeal to you therefore, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, pure, sacred and acceptable to God, which is our spiritual worship. 2 Don’t conform to this world. But be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what’s the will of God, what is good, acceptable and perfect.

     3 By the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of yourselves more highly than you should, but let your thinking be with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has allotted. 4 For we are like one body, with many members, and each part of the body has a different function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. 6 So having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them. If prophecy, in proportion to our faith, 7 if service, in our serving. The one who teaches, in their teaching. 8 The one who encourages [parakaleó - call to one's side, exhort, encourage, comfort, urge] in their encouraging and urging. The one who contributes, in generosity. The one who leads, with zeal, and the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness. 9 Let love be genuine! Abhor what is evil and hold tightly to what is good.
