Romans 11:33-12:8

English Standard Version

³³Oh, the depth of the riches and ^(A)wisdom and knowledge of God! ^(B)How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!

³⁴“For ^(C)who has known the mind of the Lord,
or ^(D)who has been his counselor?”
³⁵“Or ^(E)who has given a gift to him
that he might be repaid?”

³⁶For ^(F)from him and through him and to him are all things. ^(G)To him be glory forever. Amen.

A Living Sacrifice

12 ^(H)I appeal to you therefore, brothers,^[a] by the mercies of God, ^(I)to present your bodies ^(J)as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.^[b] ²^(K)Do not be conformed to this world,^[c] but be transformed by ^(L)the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may ^(M)discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.^[d]

Gifts of Grace

³For ^(N)by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you ^(O)not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, ^(P)each according to ^(Q)the measure of faith that God has assigned. ⁴For ^(R)as in one body we have many members,^[e] and the members do not all have the same function, ⁵so we, ^(S)though many, ^(T)are one body in Christ, and individually ^(U)members one of another. ⁶^(V)Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if ^(W)prophecy, ^(X)in proportion to our faith; ⁷if ^(Y)service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; ⁸the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; ^(Z)the one who leads,^[f] with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with ^(AA)cheerfulness.
