Romans 12

Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of Allah, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to Allah, which is your spiritual service. ²Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of Allah. ³For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as Allah has apportioned to each person a measure of faith. ⁴For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function, ⁵so we, who are many, are one body in al-Masih, and individually members one of another. ⁶Having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, if prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith; ⁷or serving, let us give ourselves to serving; or he who teaches, to his teaching; ⁸or he who encourages, to giving encouragement: he who gives, let him do it with generosity; he who administers, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

⁹Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good. ¹⁰In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate one to another; in honour preferring one another; ¹¹not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; ¹²rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer; ¹³contributing to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality. ¹⁴Bless those who persecute you; bless, and do not curse. ¹⁵Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep. ¹⁶Be of the same mind one toward another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own conceits. ¹⁷Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honourable in the sight of all men. ¹⁸If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. ¹⁹Do not seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to Allah's wrath. For it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay,"[1] says the Lord. ²⁰Therefore

"If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat.

If he is thirsty, give him a drink.

For in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head."[2]

²¹Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
