Romans 12

Come, sit, and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee in the comfort of the Lord:  "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice."  Ephesians  4:31

1. I 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.
2. And 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.
3. For 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.
4. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office (function):
5. So we , being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members (individually) one of another.
6. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith:
7. Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching:
8. Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity (liberally): he that ruleth, with diligence: he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
9. Let love be without dissimulation (hypocrisy). Abhor that which is evil; cleave (cling) to that which is good.
10. Be kindly affectioned (affectionate) one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring (giving preference to) one another;
11. Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.
12. Rejoicing in hope, patient (persevering)in tribulation; continuing instant (steadfastly) in prayer:
13. Distributing to the necessity (needs) of saints; given to hospitality. 
14. Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind (do not set your mind on) not high things, but condescend (associate with the humble) with men of low estate.  Be not wise in your conceits (estimations).
17. Recompense (Repay) to no man evil for evil.  Provide (have regard for good things) things honest in the sight of all men.
18. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, VENGEANCE IS MINE; I WILL REPAY, saith the Lord.
20. Therefore 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.
21. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
