Context
Consecration of the Believer’s Life
12:1 Therefore I exhort you , brothers and sisters , by the mercies of God , to present your bodies as a sacrifice – alive , holy , and pleasing to God – which is your reasonable service .
12:2 Do not be conformed to this present world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind , so that you may test and approve what is the will of God – what is good and well-pleasing and perfect .
Conduct in Humility
12:3 For by the grace given to me I say to every one of you not to think more highly of yourself than you ought to think , but to think with sober discernment , as God has distributed to each of you a measure of faith .
12:4 For just as in one body we have many members , and not all the members serve the same function ,
12:5 so we who are many are one body in Christ , and individually we are members who belong to one another .
12:6 And we have different gifts according to the grace given to us . If the gift is prophecy , that individual must use it in proportion to his faith .
12:7 If it is service , he must serve ; if it is teaching , he must teach ;
12:8 if it is exhortation , he must exhort ; if it is contributing , he must do so with sincerity ; if it is leadership , he must do so with diligence ; if it is showing mercy , he must do so with cheerfulness .
Conduct in Love
12:9 Love must be without hypocrisy . Abhor what is evil , cling to what is good .
12:10 Be devoted to one another with mutual love , showing eagerness in honoring one another .
12:11 Do not lag in zeal , be enthusiastic in spirit , serve the Lord .
12:12 Rejoice in hope , endure in suffering , persist in prayer .
12:13 Contribute to the needs of the saints , pursue hospitality .
12:14 Bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse .
12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice , weep with those who weep .
