THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Romans (Author Paul)

12:1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

12:2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

12:3For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

12:6Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

12:7Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

12:8Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

12:9Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

12:10Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

12:11Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

12:12Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

12:13Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

12:14Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

12:15Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

12:16Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

12:17Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

12:18If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

12:19Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

12:20Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

12:21Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

13:8Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

13:9For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

13:10Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

13:11And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

13:12The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

13:13Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

13:14But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

14:19Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

14:20For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

14:21It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

15:1We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

15:2Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
