| 12:13 | yyuynge good to the nedis of seyntis, kepynge hospitalite. |

| 12:1 | I Beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that yee giue vp your bodies a liuing sacrifice, holy, acceptable vnto God, which is your reasonable seruing of God. |
| 12:2 | And fashion not your selues like vnto this worlde, but bee yee changed by the renewing of your minde, that ye may prooue what that good, and acceptable and perfect will of God is. |
| 12:3 | For I say through the grace that is giuen vnto me, to euery one that is among you, that no man presume to vnderstande aboue that which is meete to vnderstand, but that he vnderstande according to sobrietie, as God hath dealt to euery man the measure of faith. |
| 12:4 | For as wee haue many members in one body, and all members haue not one office, |
| 12:5 | So we being many are one body in Christ, and euery one, one anothers members. |
| 12:6 | Seeing then that we haue gifts that are diuers, according to the grace that is giuen vnto vs, whether we haue prophecie, let vs prophecie according to the portion of faith: |
| 12:7 | Or an office, let vs waite on the office: or he that teacheth, on teaching: |
| 12:8 | Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that distributeth, let him doe it with simplicitie: he that ruleth, with diligence: he that sheweth mercie, with cheerefulnesse. |
| 12:9 | Let loue be without dissimulation. Abhorre that which is euill, and cleaue vnto that which is good. |
| 12:10 | Be affectioned to loue one another with brotherly loue. In giuing honour, goe one before another, |
| 12:11 | Not slouthfull to do seruice: seruent in spirit seruing the Lord, |
| 12:12 | Reioycing in hope, pacient in tribulation, continuing in prayer, |
| 12:13 | Distributing vnto the necessities of the Saintes: giuing your selues to hospitalitie. |
| 12:14 | Blesse them which persecute you: blesse, I say, and curse not. |
| 12:15 | Reioyce with them that reioyce, and weepe with them that weepe. |
| 12:16 | Be of like affection one towardes another: be not hie minded: but make your selues equall to them of the lower sort: be not wise in your selues. |
| 12:17 | Recompence to no man euill for euill: procure things honest in the sight of all men. |
| 12:18 | If it bee possible, as much as in you is, haue peace with all men. |
| 12:19 | Dearely beloued, auenge not your selues, but giue place vnto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine: I will repay, saith the Lord. |
| 12:20 | Therefore, if thine enemie hunger, feede him: if he thirst, giue him drinke: for in so doing, thou shalt heape coales of fire on his head. |
| 12:21 | Bee not ouercome of euill, but ouercome euill with goodnesse. |
| 12:1 | I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. |
| 12:2 | And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. |
| 12:3 | Because I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, just as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. |
| 12:4 | Because, as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, |
| 12:5 | so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. |
| 12:6 | Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us: if prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; |
| 12:7 | or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; |
| 12:8 | he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, let him do it with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. |
| 12:9 | Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. |
| 12:10 | Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; |
| 12:11 | not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; |
| 12:12 | rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; |
| 12:13 | distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. |
| 12:14 | Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. |
| 12:15 | Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. |
| 12:16 | Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. |
| 12:17 | Repay no one evil for evil. Provide things that are honest in the sight of everyone. |
| 12:18 | If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with everyone. |
| 12:19 | Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; because it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. |
| 12:20 | Therefore "If your enemy hungers, feed him; if he thirsts, give him a drink; because in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head." |
| 12:21 | Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. |
