Romans 12

1 So I beg you, brothers and sisters, because of all the mercy God poured out on you! Give your whole self to Him. Be a living gift, set apart and pleasing to Him. This is true worship.

3 Because God gave me grace, I say this to each one of you. Do not think of yourself more highly than you should. Think with a clear mind. God gave each of you a measure of faith.

9 Love people for real. Hate what is wrong. Hold tight to what is good.

14 When people come after you to hurt you, speak good over them. Good words, not curses!

17 Someone hurts you? Do not hurt back. Live right where everyone can see it.
