1I therefore plead with you, brothers, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, well-pleasing to God, which is your spiritual ministry.2And do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, so that you may test what is the will of God, the good and well-pleasing and perfect.3For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly than one ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.4For just as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function,5so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.6Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, if prophecy, in proportion to our faith;7if service, in our serving; if teaching, in our teaching;8if exhortation, in our exhortation; if contributing, in generosity; if leading, with zeal; if showing mercy, with cheerfulness.
