Rom 12:1-8

Sacrifice of Body and Mind. 1^* I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship.^a 2Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.^b

Many Parts in One Body. 3^c For by the grace given to me I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than one ought to think, but to think soberly, each according to the measure of faith that God has apportioned. 4^d For as in one body we have many parts, and all the parts do not have the same function, 5so we, though many, are one body in Christ^* and individually parts of one another. 6^e Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us exercise them:^* if prophecy, in proportion to the faith; 7if ministry, in ministering; if one is a teacher, in teaching; 8if one exhorts, in exhortation; if one contributes, in generosity; if one is over others,^* with diligence; if one does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
