CHAP. XII.
1 Gods mercies must mooue vs to please God.
3 No man must thinke too well of himselfe,
6 But attend euerie one, on that calling,
wherein he is placed. 9 Loue, and many other
dueties are required of vs. 19 Reuenge
is specially forbidden.
1
I beseech you therefore brethren,
by the mercies of
God, that yee present your
bodies a liuing sacrifice,
holy, acceptable vnto God,
which is your reasonable seruice.
2
And bee not conformed to this
world: but be ye transformed by the renuing
of your minde, that ye may proue
what is that good, that acceptable and
perfect will of God.
3
For I say, through the grace giuen
vnto mee, to euery man that is among
you, not to thinke of himselfe
more highly then hee ought to thinke,
but to thinke note soberly, according as
God hath dealt to euery man the measure
of faith.
4
For as we haue many members
in one body, and all members haue not
the same office:
5
So we being many are one bodie
in Christ, and euery one members one
of another.
6
Hauing then gifts, differing according
to the grace that is giuen to vs,
whether prophecie, let vs prophecie according
to the proportion of faith.
7
Or ministery, let vs wait, on our ministring:
or hee that teacheth, on teaching:
8
Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation:
he that note giueth, let him doe it note with
simplicitie: hee that ruleth, with diligence:
hee that sheweth mercy, with
cheerefulnesse.
9
Let loue bee without dissimulation:
abhorre that which is euill, cleaue
to that which is good.
10
Bee kindly affectioned one to another
note with brotherly loue, in honour
preferring one another.
11
Not slouthfull in busines: feruent
Exhortations to seuerall dueties.
in spirit, seruing the Lord.
12
Reioycing in hope, patient in tribulation,
continuing instant in prayer.
13
Distributing to the necessitie of
Saints; giuen to hospitalitie.
14
Blesse them which persecute you,
blesse, and curse not.
15
Reioyce with them that doe reioice,
and weepe with them that weepe.
16
Be of the same mind one towards
another. Minde not high things, but
note condescend to men of low estate. Bee
not wise in your owne conceits.
17
Recompence to no man euill for
euill. Prouide things honest in the sight
of all men.
18
If it be possible, as much as lyeth
in you, liue peaceably with all men.
19
Dearely beloued, auenge not your
selues, but rather giue place vnto
wrath: for it is written, note Uengeance is
mine, I will repay, saith the Lord.
20
noteTherefore if thine enemie hunger,
feed him: if he thirst, giue him drink.
For in so doing thou shalt heape coales
of fire on his head.
21
Be not ouercome of euill, but ouercome
euill with good.
