Ro:11:34: For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
Ro:11:35: Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
Ro:11:36: For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
Chapter 12
Ro:12:1: 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.
Ro:12:2: 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.
Ro:12:3: 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.
Ro:12:4: For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
Ro:12:5: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
Ro:12:6: Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
Ro:12:7: Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
Ro:12:8: Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
Ro:12:9: Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Ro:12:10: Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Ro:12:11: Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Ro:12:12: Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
Ro:12:13: Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
Ro:12:14: Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Ro:12:15: Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Ro:12:16: Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Ro:12:17: Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
Ro:12:18: If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Ro:12:19: Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Ro:12:20: 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.
Ro:12:21: Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Chapter 13
Ro:13:1: Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Ro:13:2: Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
Ro:13:3: For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
Ro:13:4: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
Ro:13:5: Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
Ro:13:6: For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
Ro:13:7: Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
Ro:13:8: Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Ro:13:9: For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Ro:13:10: Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
